then again, maybe some panel could be (ab)used for

can swallow various X apps and you can specify fairly fancy layout of

xload and other apps of that type but you can make it any size you want and
run any apps). not sure how it would work, I never tried to use fvwm panel
in this way...
It looks like fvwm panel is a window manager hack, rather than a real app.
Makes sense I guess.
It should be possible to do window manager neutral swallowing with Xnext It
might require writing a simple window manger to run inside Xnest and place
the rack units, but as the geometry is so simple it might be possible to
do it externally.
