I don't believe there is much chance to have Screenlets installed to
Ubuntu by default, but I certainly welcome your enthusiasm.

Only distro which includes Screenlets by default is Estobuntu, and there
I added it myself (see
http://www.upload.ee/image/1793333/Screenshot_at_2011-10-22_17_44_50.png
and http://juhend.estobuntu.org/), although not all users welcome it.
Even Pinguy OS which has lots of bling, has only Conky. I tend to think
that Screenlets demands too much resources for universal distro like
Ubuntu, even distros like Pinguy avoid it.

See also some quite old Ubuntu brainstorm entries:

Add Screenlets by default  http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/392
Screenlets or Widgets need development http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/19443/

I am quite sure that Ubuntu desktop team has discussed Screenlets or
whatever other desktop widgets and decided to concentrate on Lenses etc
in Unity and try to get rid of the old cluttered desktop. I think I have
read that kind of discussions couple of times.
