This applet will show you which workspaces are currently visible on
the Gnome panel. To set it up, you need to do the following:


0- *Prevent Gnome from starting xmonad*. In my case, that involved
removing the reference to xmonad from the file
~/.gconf/desktop/gnome/session/required_components/%gconf.xml. This is
necessary because this applet actually *launches* xmonad. 

1- Edit the TEXT_COLOR and PANEL_IS_VERTICAL vars at the top of the
file xmonad-workspaces-applet.py. 

2- Place xmonad-workspaces-applet.py in a directory somewhere in your path (eg,
/usr/local/bin).

3- Place the file GNOME_Xmonad_Workspaces.server in
/usr/lib/bonobo/servers.

4- Log out and log back into Gnome.

5- Right click on some free space on your Gnome panel and choose "add to
panel". Pick "Xmonad Workspaces" from the list and click "add".

If you successfully add this applet but you cannot see anything on
your panel, the issue might be the text color being used. Experiment
with setting a different color at the top of the
xmonad-workspaces-applet.py file and repeating this process.
