.SH DESCRIPTION
.B mb-applet-launcher
is a panel applet which can be used to start a given application. The
applet displays the PNG or XPM file given on the command line as an icon,
and when the user clicks on the icon the application is started.

Matchbox is a base environment for the X Window System running on non-desktop
embedded platforms such as handhelds, set-top boxes, kiosks and anything else
for which screen space, input mechanisms or system resources are limited.
