In addition to the suggestions of the others, there's a plasmoid 
available for download on kdelook with the purpose of cloning the MS 
sidebar for KDE.  I was looking for something else and not much 
interested in it when I came across it, so IDR that much more about it, 
including the name, but it's there, if you're interested in searching for 
it.
