Comment 2 for bug 131530

(Sorry, bad click. That's what I wanted to say:)

Perhaps instead of adding a dependency the applet could be patched so that when the user tries this function it explains him that an additional package is required to use it and asks to install it automatically.

I don't have much (any) experience with this applet; if this is it's major functionality of course the dependency should be added. Also I don't know how difficult my suggestion is, but I think I've already seen something like that somewhere else.
