Unity Panel (Unity is new interface for Ubuntu 11.04 with new top panel) doesn't support applets for GNOME Panel.
You can use Hamster Indicator (package hamster-indicator
) from Alberto Milone's PPA repository
ppa:albertomilone/hamster-indicator
More information here:
There is a lot of indicators, many of them have same funtionality as applets for GNOME Panel in ubuntu 10.10 and older.
List of indicators -- What Application Indicators are available?
If you want to add a indicator to the Unity Panel, you have to install it and then run as a normal applications (from menu or via terminal), you can't add it using right click on panel.
Good news: Hamster-indicator is coming to Precise, so you won't need to use the PPA. Thanks to Alberto, bojo42, and Jamie!
