I do not expect that there will ever be a way to run Gnome applets with LXPanel. The reasons for this have been discussed; they have to do with supporting the private, undocumented, subject to change at any moment communication mechanism between the Gnome panel and its applets. If Xfce wishes to take on this burden, fine, good luck to them.

It would be helpful if you would list the additional applets that you would like to have and then the feature can be provided some other way. We already know about Weather, thank you.

I have running in the development code a task applet that only displays a button that brings up a menu of the tasks, rather than displaying them in a bar. Unlike Gnome (and I am not sure how Xfce does this) it can be switched back and forth; it is not a separate applet.
