wxPython is a GUI toolkit for the Python programming language. It allows Python
programmers to create programs with a robust, highly functional graphical user
interface, simply and easily. It is implemented as a Python extension module
(native code) that wraps the popular wxWidgets cross platform GUI library, which
is written in C++.
from the home page:
With Pawm you can minimize windows, that are placed on a
small auto-hide bar at the bottom, for a better access to
all apps. It also includes a small clock on the bar, that
can be easily disabled.
This is a window manager based on the Qt library. It supports
icons, keyboard controls, and virtual screens. It comes with two
applets: a biff-like mail indicator and a clock, both designed to
be swallowed by its toolbar.
Caution! Killing this window manager will kill some of your X
clients (applications).

be made sticky.

type it in a shell command, wmbutton can run it. It is based on wmcp,

or handheld devices. This program also has facility to send characters
specified as the command line option to another client.
xmotd is a message-of-the-day browser for X11 and dumb-terminals, that
can also be used to broadcast messages to users logged in across a
network. xmotd periodically checks whether a file has been modified
and pops up and displays the contents of the file, if it has.
