No, only the KSystemTray class works at the moment. KPanelApplet needs more 
callbacks to work properly. Also I think panel applets need to be built as a 
special sort of project in C++ - it might need a C++ stub to work, which 
would start the jvm and interface with the C++ 'outside world'. Then KDevelop 
3 could have a panel applet project template, that would simplify all this.

So getting all that working is a project in itself, but all possible..
