I believe that would be dependent on your window manager, or at least that you could summon a Gnome or KDE panel only if those libraries were available on the given system.... so you may have trouble making something open everywhere unless you make your own X component for it or find one to re-use... you might be able to look into Nautilus (gnome) or Konqueror (kde) file browsers for a nice function... Don't know more, but this set off some blinky warning lights in my head :)
