I currently (mis)use the systray to store aplication who should be 
running 100% of the time, but I only need like 1% of the time. Just like 
a panel applet!

I even use 'alltray' to minimize applications to the systray to save 
lots of space on my taskbar.

If this all could be done in the taskbar itself, I would probably use 
the systray for it's original purpose only: notifications, not applications.

One question about your flashy demo though: Can you have multiple 
instances of the panel? If so, do they have there own applications or 
are they mirrored amongst each other?


Great idea!
