The second on does a GetStatus every 5 seconds, and shows a popup for 3 seconds if trackerd's status changed. The popup code is - well - what I got working with gtk. I thought that it might be an idea and I like the popups, but it's not configurable and users might get annoyed ;). The first patch (not the extension thing) does only fixes some bugs that made the applet more or less unusable (as e.g. t-s-t could not be launched). I'll be clearer about python code in the future, so you have something to decide.
