Well there is always the possibility if your using xfce4.2 to use a 
generic monitor.  I just put in a monitor that launches a script like 
this and refreshes every 2 seconds:

>echo "cpu"
>echo "freq"
>cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep "cpu MHz" | cut -b 12-
>echo "cpu"

This does the trick for me at least.  I have another one I use as a 
generic monitor to check my wireless signal, but have yet to get one to 
show the AP associated with put in:
