I think this is exactly the sort of thing you would want to use a
plasmoid for.  With a plasmoid you could set it up so it can live on
the desktop, or be placed inside an existing panel, and could look and
behave differently in the two situations (or not).  This would give
people more flexibility in where they put it and how it is set up.
