Hi,

I'm using dzen2 for this purpose:

http://www.psb.ugent.be/~kebil/dot/

The dzen.left and dzen.right files will give you a 14 pixel high bar on 
top of your screen displaying: workspaces, current focussed windows name, 
up/down speed, battery life, cpu temp and volume.
I've modified rpws a bit more to give the workspaces friendly names.

There's a simple binding in my ratpoisonrc to show/hide the bar.

I didn't write above dzen scripts, I just modified them for my own needs. 
I don't seem to find the URL with the original code back.
