You might need to explain this better for me to understand. There's a System
Monitor applet for the GNOME Panel (provided in gnome-applets); not sure
about your Skype issue - does it provide a Kicker applet or a notification
icon...?

GNOME 2.8 isn't available for Debian's testing branch. If you installed
backports, you'd "taint" your install. The best way to test it would be to
use a LiveCD or install a distro that did have it in another partition (you
could use sid+experimental or Ubuntu).
