Well, I don't really care about investing, but this seemed like a python
example for an applet which I wanted to study - so after some fiddling

panel via Add to Panel, or via command line (check the name of the
panels first via `ls ~/.gconf/apps/panel/toplevels`):

app = Gtk.Window(Gtk.WindowType.TOPLEVEL)
but then I get some other error, something obscure and I believe OO
programming related, along the lines
Could somebody try if that's still an issue in oneiric?

I tried to test this on a Oneiric live CD, but I was unable to get to a GNOME
session to test it.

Invest-applet fails to start after upgrade
