The current illume indicator is written as a module and is unloadable 
via the Modules dialog. You can make your own indicator window as a 
module, or as an elementary application. There is an example elementary 
indicator window in e/trunk/PROTO/elm_indicator.

Quickpanel windows are not meant as a replacement for Indicator. 
Quickpanel windows are a seperate beast all together. Quickpanels are 
meant as simple windows which slide in & out via clicks on the 
Indicator. Quickpanel windows should not be set as a DOCK type....also, 
there is no need for reserving strut space with them. See 
e/trunk/PROTO/elm_quickpanel for an example. Currently, there is no way 
that I am aware of to remove the background window in E17.

No, a replacement home should not be configured as a desktop window. 
There are examples of illume-home in e/trunk/e/src/modules/illume-home, 
and also e/trunk/PROTO/elm_indicator contains a basic home window too.

Hopefully the existing examples will shed some light on things for you 
:) If not, feel free to ask :)
