I am not an expert in the area of Applets, but making it strictly a Gnome
applet would restrict its usage to Gnome.  So if I wanted to run it under
xfce4 or some other Window Manager, the applet would need re-written for
each window-manager implementation.  The notification (icon box) area is a
standard that is usable regardless of WM (or it should be).  Even though it
is technically a gnome application, making it as portable as possible is a
good thing.

Hope that answers your question.

It's called NetworkManager Applet so why is it not implemented as Gnome
Applet?
