Yes, a couple that I know of: gnubiff mail-notification These replicate the same function; they're mail-checkers. I prefer gnubiff 1) because its cuter, and 2) it seems to work better than mail-notification, which has the disturbing behaviour of disappearing from the panel when there's no new mail, and reappearing when there is, which the panel doesn't seem to like that much (nor do I). The supposed benefit of mail-notification is that it says it can check GMail, but so can gnubiff (if you've set up "send a copy of any new gmail to my real address" according to the gmail instructions, and set up an account for it in Thunderbird, you can also set gnubiff to check that (secure) account as well). Nice for if I don't have Firefox open for whatever reason (where I use the GMail Notifier extension). There's also the quick-lounge-applet which gives you a little application launcher, similar to Windows' QuickLaunch toolbar (used it once, it works fine but seemed pointless to me); oooqstart-gnome an OpenOffice quickstarter for GNOME (there's one for KDE as well). This basically preloads OO.o so that it opens faster battstat a battery status monitor (never used, since I don't have a laptop) gxmms A panel applet to control xmms gnome-swallow allows any app to be 'swallowed' into the panel (may use a lot of CPU; certainly wmswallow, which I had to stop using, does) drwright an applet that schedules breaks to keep you from hurting yourself sitting at the computer too long; ... and that's just a partial list; go to packages.gentoo.org and type applet into the search field. You'll have to skip through all of the 'k' stuff, and of course some applets are meant for other WMs (there's a lot of ROX applets, for example), but you should be able to find all the cool stuf relatively easily.
