Hi. I currently have two gnome panels; a vertical one on the right, and a short one along the bottom. I use the one on the right for my pager, window list, and miscellaneous utilities like meters and clock. I currently have the system monitor applet in there, which works well, but I'm partial to gkrellm. Is there a way in gnome to tell it to add the full gkrellm window in the panel? Not a button to launch gkrellm or something like that, but gkrellm itself. I had a similar setup in KDE 3.5.
Thanks, reid

I'm not aware of any method to do this, and apparently (since noone else answered) noone else is. You may be able to use a transparent panel and something underneath it if you're running compiz, but I don't think the gnome-panel normal transparency option will do (it copies a portion of your desktop background as its themed background rather than truly making the panel transparent).

Thanks for the reply, Andrew. I suspected it's either easy and I was just missing the obvious, or it's impossible. I've been avoiding compiz, so I'll just keep using the system monitor even if your suggestion were to work. Oh well.
I guess this is one of those areas where KDE's extreme configurability let me do some unusual things. I think I had five panels of various sizes and positions in KDE 3.5!
