The network monitor plugin displays nicely colorized current network
traffic rate on the XFCE panel. I would like to get this displaying
the netVM's traffic rate, next to the red netvm in Dom0's panel.
However, typically it doesn't run in the "notification area", and I'm
not sure how to get it displayed in Dom0 (as the netvm icon is).
Can anyone point me in the right direction ?

As a generalization of my previous question:
I've seen screenshots (Joanna's:

where a section of the panel seems to be showing the XFCE menubar from
another VM, such as sys-firewall. Perhaps I'm interpreting the colors
wrong, but I can't seem to figure out how to accomplish this. Does
anyone have any tips?

I actually don't see what you describe in that screenshot. Can you
explain in more detail what you mean?
P.S. - Please don't top-post.

the upper right might be displaying sys-firewall data. I could be
wrong, but am curious either way.

XFCE install) that I was hoping to display in dom0, but with
real-time data from netvm or firewall. The goal is to see all
current network traffic easily.

applet from sys-net to the dom0 panel. I don't think this can be easily
done.
You can, of course, open a xfce-panel and run the applet in that, but
this wont be locked to the dom0 panel, and will be a freefloating
window.
An alternative would be to choose a monitor that uses the system tray
because Qubes will automatically incorporate this in to the dom0 system
tray, (like the nm-applet).
For example, you could install indicator-multiload and have it
automatically start configured to show network traffic - this should
appear in the system tray. I think that shows graphs so it isn't exactly
what you are looking for.
I'm probably missing something obvious but this solution will work as you
want.
Another approach might be to run conky configured semi-transparent so
you retain the output but don't lose screen space.

followed by the applet?

on the wish-list for the Fedora repos.
I guess Conky might be a good way to go.
