I'm no buttons expert but I run a set of 4 buttons across the top of my
desktop holding an xclock, and xload, and two xterms. This is my config:

  Back    black
  BoxSize fixed
  Colorset 1
  ButtonGeometry  16x16
  Columns 87
  Rows    4
  Fore    green
  Frame   0
  Padding 0 0
  Pixmap  none
  (4x4+0+0,   Swallow (Close, NoHints, Respawn, UseOld) XClock 'Exec exec 
xclock')
  (4x4+4+0,   Swallow (Close, NoHints, Respawn, UseOld) XLoad 'Exec exec xload 
-jumpscroll 1 -bg black -fg yellow -nolabel', Action Exec 'term -small -e top; 
gkrellm&')
  (30x4+8+0,  Swallow (Close, NoHints, Respawn, UseOld) CONSOLE 'Exec exec term 
-n CONSOLE')
  (30x4+38+0, Swallow (Close, NoHints, Respawn, UseOld) LOGS 'Exec exec term -C 
-n LOGS -e mtail alert')

"XClock", "XLoad" et al are window class names (or name instead of
classes). You should be able to experiment with a gnome-power-manager
applet from this.

Cheers,

I read books on Zen meditation.  The pages only have one side.
