Is this possible with gnome?

I want to add something to the desktop background that will keep me posted on stuff like CPU and stuff, general specs. I'm pretty sure I've seen something, gdesklets comes to mind but I can't remember. Halp plz :D

I use "screenlets." It can be found in synaptic package manager.
