You may need two plug-ins in the same module for this, The idlebar 
plug-ins' eventhandler, as you noticed, is not called these plug-ins are 
intended just so show information.

Daemon plug-ins can do any thing but can be more complicated to write 
and are quite difficult to use as an idlebar plug-in as they need to 
tell the idlebar how much space they take up. You could use the daemon 
plug-in to pass commands the idle bar plug-in. Not quite sure the best 
way to do this.

May be someone else has an idea.
