Small idea: write a plugin (just a plugin, no DaemonPlugin) that only
starts a thread, like the mplayer plugin. Register this plugin to the
plugin system as MISTERHOUSE plugin (see mixer.py or mplayer.py how:
plugin.register(the-plugin, 'MISTERHOUSE')). This plugin stores all
data.
Now you write an idlebar plugin for the temperature. It gets the
thread by asking plugin.py for MISTERHOUSE:
plugin.getbyname('MISTERHOUSE')
and display the infos from the object.
Right now, the idlebar will only update when you press a button and
the menu changes, but that should be ok for a start.

Add an item that builds it's own submenu. Take a look at the
headline.py plugin.
