YouTube and the Google Desktop team have announced the release of a YouTube gadget for Google Desktop. Once installed the gadget provides user with a built in search for videos (hint: pressing the shift key twice brings up all your hidden Desktop gadgets). The videos will play directly inside the gadget, which also shows a feed of the day's most popular clips.
The gadget currently only works on Linux and Windows, sorry Mac fans you get the cold shoulder.
