i think there are some gdesktlets or superkaramba themes for this stuff available. but maybe it can also be done using eterm... but i am not sure. i would need to check it first.

You can make a transparent, borderless, unselectable Eterm window running (for example) $top

like this:

 

Eterm -x -0 --trans --scrollbar=off --buttonbar 0 -q -e 'top'

 

That will make it completely transparent, force it to the background and you won't be able to focus on it, and run the top command. If you do that, you might want to use the -g switch as well. Here's the format:

 

-g XcoordxYcoord+height+width (height and width might be reversed, size is in pixels (I think))
