is it possible to write nice little panel-applets for linux usin Lazarus/FreePascal ? if so, any tips of where I should start reading?.

I guess, you mean gnome panel applets. This requires pascal bindings for the libpanel lib, some modifications to the gnome interface (to use the different message loop and few other things) and a new TCustomGnomePanel form.

You can start with http://cactus.rulez.org/doc/articles/panelapplet/ and write the libpanel bindings with h2pas. Then I will help you writing the TCustomGnomePanel.

Thanx, I will see what I can do, it will take some time, cause I`ll have to learn the most of it as I goes... but if/when I manage to do something useful, I`ll be back :)
