I poked around the GNOME website a little, and I wonder if we can't use
the gnome.scores widget to keep track of the the student's progress.  I
don't know how that would interact with the panel, but it seems like a
simple call that handles a bunch of stuff.  I'm rapidly getting beyond
my depth here (I'll need to read up on GNOME), but if the panel can be
made to interact with these scores it might be the way to go.
