The Bonobo Configuration System (BCS) consists of several parts.
An API to access configuration data, a database to store configuration
values in XML format and a system to visualise and edit configuration
data. The whole system is built on top of bonobo and ORBit (CORBA).
Submitted by Marc Matteo <marcm@lectroid.net>, with additional
polishing from me.
Bonobo is the GNOME foundation for writing and implementing reusable
software Components. Components are pieces of software that provide
a well-defined interface and are designed to be used in cooperation
with other components. In the Bonobo universe, CORBA is used as
the communication layer that binds components together.

Gnome-print is a high-quality printing framework for GNOME.
Gnome-print implements:
* device-independent printing API, modelled loosely after
PostScript language.
* font abstraction that allows device-independent text
display (within reasonable limits).
* powerful configuration engine, dealing with all levels
of output pipeline set of actual printer drivers
(PostScript, PDF, fax).
* print preview widget.
* printer selector widget.
Originally created by yours truly, the port received additional
patches from Marc Matteo <marcm@lectroid.net> who also will maintain
it in the future.
Ok naddy@.
Notable changes in this release:
* multiscreen support (pops up on all configured displays)
* support for Xinerama
* a new +title option
* better escalation handling
* +verbose option
MPlayer is a movie player for LINUX (runs on many other Unices, and
non-x86 CPUs, see the documentation). It plays most MPEG, VOB, AVI,
VIVO, ASF/WMV, QT/MOV, FLI, NuppelVideo, yuv4mpeg, FILM, RoQ, and some
RealMedia files, supported by many native, XAnim, and Win32 DLL codecs.
You can watch VideoCD, SVCD, DVD, 3ivx, FLI, and even DivX movies too
(and you don't need the avifile library at all!).

Withstanding issues: see how to deal with optimization detection at build
time so that binary packages can be created; check make it work on
platforms other than i386, etc. things can be done in-tree.

Openbox is a window manager for the X11 windowing system. It was originally
based on Blackbox and currently remains very similar, even using Blackbox
styles for its themeing.
Openbox is written to be fast. It is designed to be both fast in functionality
and in performance. Meaning that you, as a user, can do what you want quickly,
and the window manager will respond quickly to your every request.
Another goal of Openbox is to be usable. What good is a piece of software if
it is hard to use and, then ends up going unused. Openbox aims to take its
original codebase to the next level. To make everything - from shading a
window to configuring the window manager - easier. But to do this while
maintaining the bloat-free approach that has been present in Blackbox from
the beginning. To present a slim, speedy, attractive
window-manager-alternative for everybody.
