I was originally proposing "Desklets", so it should have been  
marked... the HIG recommends against using names of the form "GNOME  
Something" or "gSomething" on the menus.

However, from the CD Space Analysis discussion that's currently  
happening on indiana-discuss, it sounds like we might be dropping  
gdesklets from the LiveCD anyway.  So rather than worry about such a  
minor change for something that might be disappearing into a  
repository, I'll just change it back to "gDesklets" in the spec.

Cheeri,
Calum.
