issue updating after os update #82

Hi, I love this applet and have relied upon it daily!

But I upgraded from Debian Stretch to buster recently, and just noticed that this applet wasn't showing an icon to click on.

So I opened up the 'Applets' Manager, and took a look around and updated what I could.

But I noticed that this applet wasn't listed in the list under the 'Download' tab.

It was however in the list under the 'Manage' tab. So in that list I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but it flagged that 'something went wrong'. I don't know if this matters anymore, but for what it's worth, Melange reported for the older version that didn't work:

info t=2020-01-06T16:27:47Z Hiding systray: network info t=2020-01-06T16:27:47Z Hiding systray: network info t=2020-01-06T16:27:48Z Hiding systray: network info t=2020-01-06T16:27:48Z Hiding systray: network info t=2020-01-06T16:27:48Z Hiding systray: network error t=2020-01-06T16:27:48Z this is undefined info t=2020-01-06T16:27:48Z Hiding systray: network

Anyway, fortunately, I found my way here, downloaded the zip, copied the folder, restarted cinnamon, and now it all works as before. Thank you!

But if at all possible, I think it should have been in that Applets Download list, and with the update icon showing so as to more easily update it.

(I would love to learn more about how cinnamon works someday, and how one learns to write these applets, but for now I'll just have to admire your work.)
