Add the following line to /etc/sudoers:
user ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/hostmode
Add the command: /usr/bin/hostmode toggle to osso-statusbar-cpu's command settings and enjoy!

Mplawner, thanks for the script! The only thing I had trouble with it that it would not work using 'oss-statusbar-cpu', but only while root in a shell. I tracked it down to 'sudo' permissions. I think you must add 'sudo' to the command in that applet for this idea to work i.e.

sudo /usr/bin/hostmode toggle
