[Florian Langlois <chamois94@xxxxxxxxx>]

Just tried the rfkill applet. Thanks for your great work.

Some comments :
- you should add in the README that python-gnome-applet is needed.
- if a sys file is not present although it is in the config file the applet
will crash.
- the applet doesn't have write permissions to the sys switches because only
root has.

Regards

LANGLOIS Florian
