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.

gtk-vnc provides a core library written in C, using coroutines to allow
it to be completely asynchronous while remaining single threaded. A
wrapper library using PyGTK provides access to the widget functionality
from Python. Two example programs illustrate use of the widget by
re-implementing the traditional 'vncviewer' in a few 10's of lines of
code.

The GNOME Keyring Manager is an application for managing keyrings, in
which any kind of sensitive information can be kept, mainly passwords.
The default window shows 'default' keyrings with their stored items, and
allows addition, removal and edition.
Secrets can be copied using drag and drop, and can also be moved between
different keyrings. The manager also has creation, opening and
lock/unlock features.

this should fix authentication to network shares under Nautilus; it's a

Highlights of Tk 8.5
* New modern theming engine: New and complementary widgets
that make use of platform-specific theming on Mac OS X and
Windows to better fit in with those environments, and
feature an improved look and feel under X11.
* New widgets: Part of the themed widget set, Tk now has
core notebook, combobox, treeview and progressbar widgets.
* text widget: Smooth scrolling, widget peering, and
improved procedures for counting and replacing text.
* Font rendering: Now uses anti-aliased text under X11, and
a more modern text engine (ATSUI) on Mac OS X.
* Additional improvements: Window transparency, new
fullscreen option for windows, enhancements to specific
widgets and window layout, and more.

This project aims at increasing the number of available Arabic free and open
source fonts. The goals of this project are:
* Create and/or salvage free and open TTF Arabic fonts.
* Create a central repository of all free and open source Arabic fonts
(TTF and otherwise) in order to get them included into the various
distributions.
* To better couple and artistically match Arabic fonts to their latin
counterparts.
gtk-update-icon-cache is part of gtk+2: adding gtk+2 to run_depends just
to update the icon cache (which only gtk apps can use) is overkill to
say the least!
As from now, each time icons are installed under %D/share/icons, we try
to execute gtk-update-icon-cache and if it is not there, we just ignore
the error.
What it means is that if you have gtk+2 installed, then it'll run fine
and your apps will be able to use the cache. Otherwise, it will silently
fails which is fine since it means none of your apps would have been
able to take advantage of the cache anyway.

The GNOME Scan project aims to provide scanning features integrated
throughout the GNOME desktop, similar to printing. The GNOME Scan
project consists of a C/GObject library upon which are built standalone
applications and plugins for various programs.
The application and plugins are called flegita.
Note:
gnome-scan is still in its early stage. It is not a drop-in
replacement for xsane or alikes (yet); it more suited for for mass
acquisition and ADF scanners.
There's an issue with image enhancement which is being worked on
upstream and the gsane backend may not give good results on all
scanners.

can even have rain and/or storm stirring up the water.
