KDE is a powerful Free Software graphical desktop environment for Linux and Unix workstations. This package does not contain anything by itself -- it is a "meta-port" that depends on other KDE packages. Its sole purpose is to require dependencies so users can install this package only and have all the KDE stuff pulled in by the port/package dependency mechanism.

This is a program to help manage many of the XKB features of X window. This includes such features as MouseKeys, AccessX, StickyKeys, BounceKeys, and SlowKeys. It also includes a perl/tk gui program to help with MouseKeys acceleration management. Stephen Montgomery-Smith stephen@math.missouri.edu

XScreenSaver.App is a simple WindowMaker dockapp that allows you to lock your screen (using XScreenSaver by default) with a single left-click of the mouse. The dockapp also allows you to configure XScreenSaver by right-clicking on the app. The left- and right-click behaviors are configurable, so this app can work with applications other than XScreenSaver.

xcoloredit provides a graphical method of mixing the three primary colors available on a colour workstation. This mixing can be done using the Red, Green and Blue slider controls on the left of the window or using the Hue, Satu- ration and Value slider controls on the right.

Cinnamon is a Linux desktop which provides advanced innovative features and a traditional user experience. The desktop layout is similar to Gnome 2. The underlying technology is forked from Gnome Shell. The emphasis is put on making users feel at home and providing them with an easy to use and comfortable desktop experience.

gmrun is a very featureful GTK+-2 Run box. Its features include: * Tilde completion * Completion for separate words * Cycleable command history * Configuration file in ${PREFIX}/share/gmrun/gmrunrc, which can be copied to ~/.gmrunrc * Can spawn commands in a terminal * Intelligent URL handling

Gnome-Pie is a circular application launcher. It is made of several pies, each consisting of multiple slices. The user presses a key stroke which opens the desired pie. By activating one of its slices, applications may be launched, key presses may be simulated or files can be opened.

wdm -- WINGs Display Manager wdm was initially called DisplayMaker. This is a modification of XFree86's xdm package for graphically handling authentication and system login. Most of xdm has been preserved (XFree86 3.3.2.3) with the Login interface based on a WINGs implementation using Tom Rothamel's "external greet" interface.

GNU cpio copies files into or out of a cpio or tar archive. The archive can be another file on the disk, a magnetic tape, or a pipe. GNU cpio supports the following archive formats: binary, old ASCII, new ASCII, crc, HPUX binary, HPUX old ASCII, old tar, and POSIX.1 tar. The tar format is provided for compatibility with the tar program. By default, cpio creates binary format archives, for compatibility with older cpio programs. When extracting from archives, cpio automatically recognizes which kind of archive it is reading and can read archives created on machines with a different byte-order. Note that this port will install these utilities with a 'g' prefix, e.g. gcpio, but the texinfo documentation will refer to them without the 'g' prefix.

rzip is a compression program, similar in functionality to gzip or bzip2, but able to take advantage from long distance redundancies in files, which can sometimes allow rzip to produce much better compression ratios than other programs. The principal advantage of rzip is that it has an effective history buffer of 900 Mbyte. This means it can find matching pieces of the input file over huge distances compared to other commonly used compression programs. The gzip program by comparison uses a history buffer of 32 kbyte and bzip2 uses a history buffer of 900 kbyte. The second advantage of rzip over bzip2 is that it is usually faster. This may seem surprising at first given that rzip uses the bzip2 library as a backend (for handling the short-range compression), but it makes sense when you realise that rzip has usually reduced the data a fair bit before handing it to bzip2, so bzip2 has to do less work.
