You could use gkrellm-newsticker. If you use sid, you should not use the
current version of gkrellm with gkrellm-newsticker, as
gkrellm-newsticker (like some of the other plugins) doesn't work if the
gkrellm version is >= 2.

Alternately, you could do something like what I have done (and is not X
dependant), and write your own script. I wanted something similar to
what you want, but I wanted it for the console. My script is a little
long to send to the list (365 lines), but if you want to take a look at
it, let me know, and I'll send a tarball containing it.
