Gnome Panel Applets not showing up in Applet List in Ubuntu 10.4 Natty

For quite some time I was trying to figure out why my installed applets like “hamster-applet” for example where not showing up in the applet list. Finally I found the solution. You have to install the gnome applet bonobo compatibility package:

sudo apt-get install gnome-panel-bonobo

Then log off and on and the applets should show up in the list.
