What is panel-test-applets for??

I don't know. But if I want to know I type:

$ whatis panel-test-applets

The answer is:

panel-test-applets (1) - display installed applets

I have the man page too, and I can read it:

$ man panel-test-applets

But there is no program with that name.

Maybe the command is not very useful, but is its man page more useful?

Does someone know how to install that program or what is its man page for when you cannot execute the program? I can't even execute the command:

$ panel-test-applets

nor

$ panel-test-applets --help

which is the only thing its man page talks about!!
