  Is anyone able to advise what will happen to the hardware monitoring 
 applet?

  Will this work in GNOME3 or GNOME Shell?  Or do we need to wait for 
 new 'widgets' to appear in a later GNOME release (3.2?) for this sort of 
 functionality to appear again?

  The hardware sensor applet is the main applet I use on my machine, 
 apart from window switching.

  Cheers,
