Erm, what a timing! In fact, I'm developing a GNOME applet for that as we speak. Preliminary info and code are available at: http://upsilon.cc/~zack/hacking/software/gnome-awesome-applet/ It's very beta (as you can guess from the 0.0.1 version number), although it works already and should be properly packages as a Debian package too (look in the "debian" Git branch). The most annoying bug ATM is that when Awesome is restarted, communication with the applet stops (still to be debugged). Again, it's very beta, but I'm already using it for day-to-day monitoring of Awesome from GNOME ... if you like it, patches are more than welcome!
