Well, the Gnome desktop had applets when Vista and OS X were not even in
development, so yes :)

There are many applets that you can put into your panel, such as weather
report and the like. These come by default.
See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Applets

In addition, you can install gDesklets, which can be placed onto your
desktop background. Look here: http://www.gdesklets.de/

GKrellm is another option:

And there is Karamba and SuperKaramba for KDE/Kubuntu users
