Public bug reported: When running the 'Gnome Classic' mode, applets can be added to the panel like in Gnome 2, but it has become signifcantly harder and requires alt+right click (ctrl+right click?) now - and does not work all the time.
So this is actually two bugs, one that alt+click doesn't always work, but more importantly that it's required to begin with. Many users won't know that it's still possible to add applets in the 'Gnome Classic' session.
