Hi,
Well, I was stuck in the "kicker context" when answered first but indeed you can use conky (that's what I do by now). Conky allows to have windows in the foreground and it's easy to make a switching script that you can launch from the kicker dock. This can be used in any desktop environment !
If you need some script samples (switching script and conky stuffs) I can upload you some somewhere.
I could probably manage to write one, but atm I don't need one. Rather than using conky I'd like to add aplet to my kicker panel, which is always visible on my setup. So I'll try kima since it seems to provide what I'm looking for.

Hi,
We use conky to have some informations displayed on the desktop. With conky, you can display any results of a command.
I used conky in the past, but atm is a no-go for me, sice my desktop is always cluttered with windows, thus making conky invisible.
Sibcerely,
Jean

Not sure to have understood well, but if you need monitoring applets here are some of them : Kima System-monitor in the kicker-applets package Kcpuload
I'll try kima, it seems that it is what I'm searching for.
As Kommander isn't working anymore in new 3.5.13, I won't recommand it but it should have also been a solution to do your own little window with information.
Hope it can help
Conky could actually be used in this case as well. you can actually force it to output to stdout instead of writing to the desktop. If you piped that into this sort of applet it would be cool.
I would like to see this applet as well. I like to check my weather with a script. I might take a go at it. I'm relatively familiar with kicker
For me writing something like aplet would require learning whole kicker API. I don't really have time for this ATM, I'd like to concentrate more on PKGBUILDs.
