GVFS is a replacement for GnomeVFS, the GNOME Virtual File System
GVFS consists of two parts: a shared library which is loaded by
applications supporting GIO and GVFS itself, a collection of daemons
which communicate with each other and the GIO module over D-Bus. This
moves the virtual file systems out of client processes, contrary to
GnomeVFS, but somewhat similar to KIO.
GVFS will eventually replace gnome-vfs2, as more and more applications
are ported to use GIO. In the meantime it remains unlinked from the builds.
Earlier version of this port created while enjoying good beer at FOSDEM.
Quite some patches are already accepted upstream in the meantime.
it makes more sense to add devhelp as run_depends for gnome-session and
leave it to the user to install it manually for other packages

Ekiga (formely known as GnomeMeeting) is an open source VoIP and video
conferencing application for GNOME. Ekiga uses both the H.323 and SIP
protocols. It supports many audio and video codecs, and is interoperable
with other SIP compliant software and also with Microsoft NetMeeting.
It still needs some love but having it in-tree will ease people testing.
Some things are known not to be working yet...
Network part was intensively tested using the H.323 protocol through an
OpenBSD gnugk proxy, with Ekiga running OpenBSD/amd64 and a Polycom v500 as
endpoints.
this applet will only work if we run with securelevel -1 (and start another
X server). as found out by ajacoutot@ and confirmed by matthieu@

The goal of DeskbarApplet is to provide an omnipresent versatile search
interface. By typing search terms into the deskbar entry in your panel
you are presented with the search results as you type.
Seaches are handled by a series of plugins. DeskbarApplet provides a
simple interface to manage these plugins to provide you with the search
results that fit your needs.

gnome-keyring-query has the capability to store and retrieve simple
name/passphrase pairs in the default keyring. Unlike applications like
Nautilus and Evolution, no additional fields are stored, with the
exception of a 'magic' field to distinguish keys created by
gnome-keyring-query from those created by other applications.
'yeah!' ajacoutot@
