If you use gnome, what about the gnome network-monitor applet? It's a
panel applet so you can put it next to the system tray. I used to use
this & it does give basic idle/send/receive information.

Have to admit, I just added it on my f9 machine (using NetworkManager),
and it's not actually working too good. I get an unprintable unicode
char for one interface, a blank for another (I'm assuming these two are
eth0/wlan0 - both show "error" status), and "lo" for localhost, which
does actually seem to work properly.

I'll file a bug if there's nothing in BZ already...

Cheers,
Bryn.
