I use GLX Dock (Cairo Dock with OpenGL) that integrates well with Compiz.


I would also like to add some screenlets showing CPU info, time,etc.

I never used screenlets. So, no idea.

Here is GLX Dock (Cairo Dock with OpenGL) in a screenshot with some of my personal custom icons. For the other items you can use Cairo Screenlets, or something like gkrellm.
EDIT added screenshot with GKrellM:

+1 for awn, it's the best replacement for gnome panel.

Awn, glx-dock, and docky are all very good. I personally like glx-dock but they are all great. For screenlets glx-dock has that built in!
