Dockapps... these: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dockapps (first hit on

they are very small dimension gui applications that follow you on
desktop to desktop... so in awesome it would on every tag for
instance, or if you had multiple monitors, you could maybe set it to
always be on screen 1, no matter what tag you were on. ie: part of the
toolbar
here are some dockapps to play with

You can make a client sticky so it stays on every tag. You can do it
with Rules, find the following piece of code that starts with
`awful.rules.rules = {` and make it look like this (it is the last line
that matters):
awful.rules.rules = {
-- All clients will match this rule.
{ rule = { },
properties = { border_width = beautiful.border_width,
border_color = beautiful.border_normal,
size_hints_honor = false,
focus = true,
keys = clientkeys,
buttons = clientbuttons,
sticky = true } },
OTOH Vladimir is right. In linux things like these Dockapps are not
generally used, something like Conky is considered a better option. You
should take a look.
What do you mean, "in linux dockapps are not generally used". Back in
the day before gnome and kde, people were using things like windowmaker
and afterstep, which made plenty use of dockapps. Gnome and xfce
support dockapps as well.
Conky looks cool, but I want my duck!
