Cool. So i have a working plan..

I've begun the port of sysset. You can test from the ipaq cluster:
/home/guest/tardyp@free.fr/gpe-sysset/*
It doesnt use libgpewidget for now cause I did'nt managed to compile for
gdk-pixbuf.

I've tried to make it as much modular as possible, and have coded the Date
and time, and gpe-appmgr-setup.
I've implemented a fine Get time from the internet button using ntpdate :)
The only problem I have is that I dont know how to set the date with busybox's date.
'date -s "11/08/2002 17:38:00"' dont work :(

For now, it present itself exactly like sysset. ( with a GtkTree and GtkPanedH)
But, we can opt for another presentation to access differents applets:
blocknote and/or argv[0] (like busybox)

Well, I dont think that the launch time will ever vary function of the size of the binary.
gtk-init and consort are surely slower.

Well, I'm not so sure about that, it seems that I'm alone with that opinion :)

This just changes the implementation of main.c, the applets wont change.
