I've noticed this feature in quite a few window managers including KDE. Its this sort of system stats bar that is either on the left or right side on the desktop. Here is a picture just to show you what I mean:

It is on the lower left side on the picture above.
Can someone please tell me what this is and how to enable it.

Thanks.

My question is to the owner of that screenshot. Why the hell would you run linux... and use a windows xp theme? It doesnt even look nice...

heh, umm that is not my desktop, I just found that pic on google to use as an example.

EDIT: You must admit, it does look nice. :p If only microsoft would make themes for linux, imagine how much better that picture would look?
