X-perl and Bartender4 here also.

I used to just use a compilation pack (Mirage Insomniax) which included these addons. I like it but I am sure you can find something less cumbersome - although, you can customize it. I have always been too lazy to bother checking for anything else since I don't want to have to configure everything again. I just buy a bigger monitor :P

I find Fubar really useful too. Titanbar (or is it Titanpanel?) is similar, but never used it.
