To get a Vista like widgets you can download a program called screenlets.
http://www.screenlets.org/index.php/FAQ
You can download and install the actual sidebar from http://www.gnome-look.com. Check out some of the screen shots in the screen shot sub-forum. I sometimes use the sidebar and screenlets and have a screen shot of them in use there.

Sorry for the delay on a reply, I was at work. The deamon thing is no big deal, don't even worry about it. As for installing screenlets, some are a little odd. I noticed that with some, ie the cpu monitor that looks like a tachometer, if there are numbers before the name of the tar.gz all you need to do is delete those numbers and then install without unpacking.
