the hard part is actually the UI coding.  You have to somewhat implement 
buttons and a layout packer.  There must be logic to deal with 1 open window 
and 20.  You also need to keep the window name shown minimal and find some 
way to deal with a workspace of nothing but rxvts.

All of the information required to write this is available in the netwm code.  
It would just take someone who cared a few days to implement it.  You could 
also look at the fluxbox code for inspiration.

Our favorite ROX supporter Matthew pointed out ROX's panel.  ROX really is 
quite small and tidy although I find ROX is designed in such a way to make 
packaging it more difficult than it need be.
