An LXDE panel app would have been nice, but is non-trivial because:
XML-RPC and/or it's Python implementation don't seem to support callbacks, and resorting to double-polling is ridiculous
There are no Python bindings for lxpanel
It seems best path is to replace XML-RPC with D-BUS first, and then write lxpanel app.
Fooling around with D-BUS and with multi-package DEBs could be interesting, but going back to C.. not so much. So, this is unlikely to happen, but noting in case I'm looking for another "distraction" in the future (or anyone wants to fork and give a stab?)
