Ack! George, where have you been living? People already use docklets!

firestarter uses them (nice personal firewall setup thingy)
gabber uses them (Jabber GNOME frontend)
xmms has a plug-in that uses it (xmms-docklet I think its called or
xmms-status-docklet - it doesn't come by default with xmms - you'll have to
download it).

Thats about it though :) (unless you start looking for KDE apps that use
them)
