Not sure if you're familiar with the pane layout machinery carefully concealed in the context menu that pops up when you right click the pane dividers. Also accessible via Window -> Arrange Panes -> Pane Management Menu although that loses some of the left/right context that right clicking a particular pane divider provides. Anyway, this code: https://github.com/leo-editor/snippets/blob/master/examples/demo_widget.py gives full and minimal examples for adding a widget in its own pane using that mechanism. If you want it to appear at startup / load, manually create the pane where you want it, then use "Save Layout" in that same menu. In the linked examples the added widget is a slider that does noting, but you can provide your own widget that can anything at all.
