Terminal line in Top Panel

[superDave972]

Does anybody know of any way that I could have a terminal prompt that accepts commands directly in the top (or bottom) panel in Gnome?

I am not interested in a shortcut that opens a terminal window. I would prefer it if I could input a terminal command directly in to the top panel, submit the command, and then command runs while opening the terminal window.

Any chance that this tweak could be achieved? I am open to doing a little bit of programming if necessary.

Thanks

Well, you can configure the terminal to not show borders, title bar etc and resize it to fit the panel (so it overlaps)..

With a little research and trial and error, should be possible.
