I'm looking for a minimalist application that will display a list of upcoming events (e.g. birthdays, anniversaries, todos) in as compact a fashion as possible so I can park it permanently on my dekstop.
This is command-line, so I'm not sure if it'll meet your definition of `applet or dock app', but I'll say it anyway. I use http://sourceforge.net/projects/birthday/. I have it run from my .cshrc, so it appears every time I open a terminal window, and is therefore pretty much `permanently on my desktop'.
