The trashcan is a wrapper for other apps already.  Writing your own Rox trashcan in python is as simple as importing Rox (which grabs gtk2 from whereever), having a funny shaped window (piece of piss in gtk), and handling drops.

Get the dropped stuff and if it’s not an AppDir mv it to a temp dir until emptying and if it is an AppDir call apt-get remove to rid the filesystem of the deb contents that relate to the contents of the app dir.  Skin the dpkg output so it pops up in a nice window to tell the user what is going on.

gDesklets, are interesting but I can’t understand whats wrong with a normal gtk app, no toolbars on window and sticky bit set. 

self.set_decorated(False)
self.stick()

in python where self is a gtk (or rox) window.

Have AppRun and AppletRun as a wrapper to this in the AppDir and then it will run as a desktop app with no furniture and on every desktop or as a panel applet if small enough.

I might be able to help with some bits of this interesting project ;-)
