Xfce 4 Modem Lights panel plugin provides an easy way to establish/close
a ppp connection via a modem. It should work with any scripts that
create a lock file during dialing and retain it through the connection,
like ppp -ddial which creates /var/run/tun0.pid.
Impressive is a program that displays PDF presentation slides with
style. Smooth alpha-blended slide transitions are provided for the sake
of eye candy, but in addition to this, Impressive offers some unique
tools that are very useful for presentations.
NOTE: Unless you have fairly decent GL support, playing with this will
make your X session unhappy. Still, it's kind of cool...
Catfish is a handy file searching tool for linux and unix. Basically it
is a frontend for different search engines (daemons) which provides a
unified interface. The interface is intentionally lightweight and
simple, using only GTK+2. You can configure it to your needs by using
several command line options.

PyOpenGL is the cross platform Python binding to OpenGL and related
APIs. The binding is created using the standard (in Python 2.5 and
above) ctypes library, and is provided under an extremely liberal
BSD-style Open-Source license.
PyOpenGL includes support for OpenGL v1.1 through 3.0, GLU, GLUT v3.7
(and FreeGLUT), and GLE 3. It also includes support for hundreds of
OpenGL extensions.
PyOpenGL is interoperable with a large number of external GUI libraries
for Python including (wxPython, FxPy, PyGame, and Qt). It can be used
with the Tkinter GUI library if you have installed the Togl widget for
Tk.

* KDE clients (matching KDE look and feel)
It has a wide format support and can play over different media.
It comes with Medialib, a database-driven media library which stores
metadata about songs as they're played, so songs can be quickly recalled
and new playlists easily made. The media library can be easily queried
and managed using Collections.

Subversion, Bazaar-ng and Mercurial if the corresponding commands are
installed.
