Hi Leonid.

I somehow doubt it, as it's not a KDE app, but I could well be wrong. I've 
always had it up on the desktop, on all my distros. I have a whole bunch of 
distros on my 3 machines, and use static IP addresses for them. There is a 
nice plugin "gkrellmip", that displays the IP address of the current OS that 
is booted up, so I find it quite usefull when wanting to transfer files via 
FTP, or want to SSH into a machine, as the IP addresses of all the machines 
are displayed on the desktop.

Of course, it shows up in the panel, as all open desktop apps do, and you can 
obviously minimise it out of the way, but I'm sure that, that's not really 
what you're looking for.

All the best.

Nigel.
