If I get what you are saying in that you want to create a shortcut on the desktop to the Top command you will not be able to do this using dektop widget. You can however create a shortcut on the desktop that will execute Top command. Bit of command line experience needed but basically you need to create a desktop entry in /usr/share/applications/hildon/ directory.
So from the begining.
You will need root access so search the forums for rootsh.
This will create a file in that directory called topx.desktop.
Copy this txt into that file.
Then press the Esc key twice followed by
This will save that entry into the created file and thus creating a blue icon in the application list called Topx.
You can then create a shortcut to it on the desktop the same way you would create a shortcut to any application.
Hop this helps. Simples

Code:
sudo gainroot cd /usr/share/applications/hildon/ vi topx.desktop
Copy this txt into that file.
Code:
[Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Version=0.1 Type=Application Terminal=true Name=topx Exec=/usr/bin/osso-xterm top Icon= #X-Window-Icon=timerwidget X-Window-Icon= X-HildonDesk-ShowInToolbar=true X-Osso-Type=application/x-executable
Code:
:wq
You can then create a shortcut to it on the desktop the same way you would create a shortcut to any application.

Don't know if someone's posted something like this already, but I thought I'd share a DCEW script I created. It shows the data transferred (up and down) over WLAN since the last phone boot. It serves the same purpose as the Personal Dataplan Monitor widget (excellent, by the way) but for wifi traffic.
Note that the script should be all on one line, despite this site wrapping the text. Hope someone finds it helpful.
Code:
/sbin/ifconfig wlan0 | grep bytes | sed 's/^.*(\([^)]*\)).*(\([^)]*\))/Dn: \1 \| Up: \2/g'

/home/.desktop_comm_exec
Another bug report to the author: if this config file is manually edited it gets overwritten. That's not standard Linux program behaviour.
Also, please make config file a little less complicated. I'm aiming at spliting scripts into lines, they are all in one line now.

About overwriting the conf file, thanks for reminding me of this glitch!

Wow, what a bug. So obvious, but unnoticed till now. Anyway, when DCE widget resized to bigger height (with no. of lines) the widget itself is bigger, but the tapping area stays the same. This means that if you tap the widget in the lower area, it doesn't register it. Please fix this, because I'm using it for buttons: disconnect/connect/lock screen (via dbus) and I need some bigger buttons.
also is it possible to get "top" working, iv had a qucik go, including following some advice to try
top -b
however all i get is invalid command
