It depends on the desktop in question(Namely what WM you are using most of the time) how the best way to go about it is. GKrellim is probably one thing that is capable across multiple WMs I believe that might do what you want. e17 has its own modules to do this, as does Gnome and KDE I believe, though it has been a while since I used those.

It is impotant to note that if your ACPI implementation is not fully supported under linux you may not have access to those functions, you can check using acpitool if you ahve it availiable and see what it can and cannot report back. Or just cat the various files in your /proc/acpi and see what info you can find in there if you don't have acpitool

Im using Xandros and it uses KDE 3.4.2. This is a bit differnt then Ubuntu so I am learning things over again. 1 top reason I stop using Ubuntu, the gnome wireless manager never work so It was hard to connect to wireless networks. This Xandros has a very awesome build in Wierless manager.

Look up KDE Applets, a quick google tossed out the applet named ksym, but I can't help you much past that as I haven't used KDE since before I stopped using Suse, and that was a long while ago.
