Equake is a panel plugin for the XFCE desktop environment. It is based on 
the GNOME applet of the same name and was ported to XFCE starting with v1.03.
Equake monitors earthquakes and will display an update each time a new 
earthquake occurs.

Please read the INSTALL document on how to install it, but basically it 
comes down to running the following:

./configure --prefix=/usr && make && make install

Usage is very straightforward, once you have installed the plugin you can
start it by adding it to the xfce panel. When it's added the plugin will
try to find the newest earthquake and display it in the panel. Depending
on your internet connection it may take a short while.

If you right click on the plugin a menu will open with various options
to choose from which are mostly self explanatory. The properties menu 
option allows you to configure various parts of the plugin. Settings are 
saved in a file in your home directory named: .equake_appletrc. 
You can also update this file by hand and the program will automatically 
refresh its settings.

Please email me at android@e-quake.org with any feature requests, questions,
bug reports or any other inquiries.
