I'm not aware of any method to do this, and apparently (since noone else
answered) noone else is. You may be able to use a transparent panel and
something underneath it if you're running compiz, but I don't think the
gnome-panel normal transparency option will do (it copies a portion of your
desktop background as its themed background rather than truly making the
panel transparent).
Thanks for the reply, Andrew. I suspected it's either easy and I was
just missing the obvious, or it's impossible. I've been avoiding
compiz, so I'll just keep using the system monitor even if your
suggestion were to work. Oh well.
I guess this is one of those areas where KDE's extreme configurability
let me do some unusual things. I think I had five panels of various
sizes and positions in KDE 3.5!
