I subclassed KPanelApplet so that I could add a destructor which 
would "finalize" the Python interpreter (the assumption was one 
interpreter instance per applet, which is true when you start an 
applet *in* a session, but isn't true when kicker launches  
multiple applets when starting a new session).

I'm thinking of removing the PyKPanelApplet class altogether - it 
makes building a little cleaner and gets rid of one lib (I 
think).
