I would really like this. Currently I'm using icewm with icedock (its web page 
is gone, you can get it at http://www.cerias.purdue.edu/homes/zamboni/files/ice
dock-src-0.05.tar.gz) to run some applets I like, plus ROX-Filer. If ROX 
panels could swallow applets, I could get rid of icedock and have both icons 
and applets on the same panel.

Icedock may give you some ideas, but it's written in Caml, which I don't 
speak. You may also want to look at the BlackBox slit, which allows blackbox 
to use windowmaker applets.
