In the literal, legal sense, UNIX means you had your operating system tested and certified as UNIX-compliant. Apple did this, and Linux hasn't (and perhaps can't, except for a tiny subset of configurations and features.)
In the same sense, Windows NT was partly compliant back in the day. They hastily added enough bolt-on modules and compatibility software it was compliant for a few narrow cases.

NAME
fbpanel - a NETWM compliant lightweight GTK2-based panel for UNIX desktop.
SYNOPSIS
fbpanel [OPTION]
DESCRIPTION
fbpanel is desktop panel which provides graphical information and feedback about desktop activity and allows interaction with the window
manager. It features:
o taskbar - shows a list of the managed windows (tasks)
o pager - thumbnailed view of the desktop.
o launchbar - buttons to quickly launch applications
o show desktop - button to iconify or shade all windows
o image - display an image
o clock - show the current time and/or date
o system tray - tray for XEMBED icons (aka docklets)
fbpanel requires NETWM (www.freedesktop.org) compliant window manager. You can run many instances of fbpanel each with its own configura-
tion (see OPTIONS below).
Most updated info about fbpanel can be found on its home page: http://fbpanel.sf.net/

--version

--log <number>
-- set log level 0-5. 0 - none 5 - chatty
--configure
-- open configuration dialog
--profile <name>
-- use specified profile. The profile is loaded from the file ~/.config/fbpanel/<name>. If that fails, fbpanel will load
