If it's a home applet you're after, Khertan might be a better person to ask
I see that he's already replied to this thread, I would pay attention to his post... He knows what he's talking about

What you're asking for is an applet that displays a webpage. This is do-able with python, but you'd be much better off just programming an applet targeted at the maemo desktop rather than trying to adapt vista-bloat.

or was there a specific applet that you wanted? 'cause there's already several 24 hour clock applets for the system already...
