GNOME Clipboard Daemon is a program that keeps the content of your X clipboard
in memory, so the clipboard will not get lost even after you close the
application from which you copied. It is a daemon - it has no GUI. You start
it and it will run in the background and Just Work(tm).
Example:
1. Start AbiWord.
2. Type in 'hello world'. Select everything and click Copy.
3. Close AbiWord.
4. Start gedit.
5. Click Paste. Normally nothing will happen. But if GNOME Clipboard
Daemon is running, pasting will work.
Tint is a simple panel/taskbar/systray intentionally made for openbox3,
but should also work with other window managers. The goal is to keep a
clean and unintrusive look with lightweight code and compliance with
freedesktop specifications.
Tint taskbar features
* color/transparency on font, icon, border and background
* customize mouse event
* drag and drop task between desktop and switch desktop
Tint panel features
* clock with font, color and transparency
* multi-monitor : panel position adjust to monitor, taskbar by monitor
This is the development version. It has some cool new features, but also
may have some bugs.
The xcb-util module provides a number of libraries which sit on top of
libxcb, the core X protocol library, and some of the extension
libraries. These experimental libraries provide convenience functions
and interfaces which make the raw X protocol more usable. Some of the
libraries also provide client-side code which is not strictly part of
the X protocol but which have traditionally been provided by Xlib.
WM module is a Framework for window manager implementation. It brings
both client and window-manager helpers for ICCCM and EWMH.
XKeyWrap is a wrapper of key sequence between keyboard and an application
(ex.emacs).
XKeyWrap can record and play key sequence in real time. And XKeyWrap can send
key sequence to an application on other X server over the network.
If you want to read more details, type
% xkeywrap -readme
and
% man xkeywrap
If you want to see a demonstration of XKeyWrap, type
% cp /usr/local/share/examples/xkeywrap/demo.dat .
% cp /usr/local/share/examples/xkeywrap/xkeywrap_demo.c .
% xkeywrap -p -s 2 -f demo.dat -x emacs -geometry 80x25 xkeywrap_demo.c
wmblob is a pretty much useless program, that shows moving blobs. It's
a nice dockapp for Window Maker (www.windowmaker.org), and it may well
run with other window mangers.
How to use it:
Just start it. There are no command line options. You can change the
colors with the three mouse buttons:
- Left button: changes the inner color of the blobs.
- Middle button: changes the border color of the blobs.
- Right button: changes the background color.
There are 16 colors available. But not every combination looks good.
Gtk Copy-paste Buffer
It is something like 'xcb'. It has multiple buttons to store strings of paste
buffer. You click a button to put the content into paste-buffer/clipboard.
Advantages over xcb:
- Use right button to assign the button as a snooper. It is more
straightforward than xcb.
- It has tool-tip to display the complete content.
- It is written in Gtk, so by default it has i18 display capability.
- It can watch the clipboard of gtk (mozilla).
- History of changes of paste buffer
- By default, it is sticky on Gnome/Gtk. You can also specify option to turn
window decoration off (borderless). No more tedius desktop setup to install
it.
xwit ("x window interface tool") is a hotch-potch collection of simple routines
to call some of those X11 functions that don't already have any utility commands
built around them. The reasoning behind this is that loosely every X function
should be accessible from a shell script.
For example, XWarpPointer() will move the X pointer, but no utility program
exists to do so on those rare occasions when you could really use it. xwit will
also resize, iconify, pop, and move windows given by name or id, change an icon,
title or name, set the screen saver going, and change individual key autorepeat
settings.
Accerciser is an interactive Python accessibility explorer for the GNOME
desktop. It uses AT-SPI to inspect and control widgets, allowing you to check
if an application is providing correct information to assistive technologies
and automated test frameworks. Accerciser has a simple plugin framework which
you can use to create custom views of accessibility information.
This is the Gnome Accessibility Project's Assistive Technology
Service Provider Interface. It allows accessibility applications
and assistive technologies to announce their respective existence
to each other.
This version of at-spi is a major break from previous versions.
It has been completely rewritten to use D-Bus rather than
ORBIT / CORBA for its transport protocol.
Accessibility Toolkit, Linux/i386 binary
from the Web page:
The ATK library provides a set of interfaces for accessibility. By
supporting the ATK interfaces, an application or toolkit can be
used with such tools as screen readers, magnifiers, and
alternative input devices.
