Control X from the command line for scripts, and do "visual scraping" to find things on the screen. The control interface allows mouse movement, clicking, button up/down, key up/down, etc, and uses the XTest extension so you don't have the annoying problems that xse has when apps ignore sent events. The visgrep program find images inside of images and reports the coordinates, allowing programs to find buttons, etc, on the screen to click on.

Xcmd is a front-end for starting programs under X11. You can tell xcmd to look for a window with a specific class, resource name, or title string (using the `--find-<property>' options); if it finds one or more, xcmd will `raise' them, otherwise it will run the command you specify. You can tell xcmd to run commands that create their own windows (using `--xcmd'), or to run commands inside a terminal window (using `--cmd') with various options.

TDBC is the Tcl Database Connectivity, an abstraction layer for database drivers in the Tcl programming language. The interface is described in TIP 308 (http://www.tcl.tk/cgi-bin/tct/tip/308) with updates in TIP 350 (http://www.tcl.tk/cgi-bin/tct/tip/350). Currently, drivers for MySQL, ODBC, PostgreSQL, and SQLite3 are included.

The timeobjects application doesn't have an interface but provides streams of events to any applications that can consume them, notably the Horde calendar application. It contains drivers for facebook events and weather forecasts and can easily be extended by custom drivers.

IJS is a relatively new initiative to improve the quality and ease of use of inkjet printing with Ghostscript. Using IJS, you can add new drivers, or upgrade existing ones, without recompiling Ghostscript. All driver authors are encouraged to adapt their drivers for IJS, and if there is an IJS driver available for your printer, it should be your first choice.

Bloboats is a boat racing game in the spirit of Elasto Mania or X-Moto. It introduces a handful of elements from Super Mario Bros-like games.

Perl bindings to the 3.x series of the gtk+ toolkit. This module allows you to write graphical user interfaces in a Perlish and object-oriented way, freeing you from the casting and memory management in C, yet remaining very close in spirit to original API. Find out more about gtk+ at http://www.gtk.org. The gtk+ reference manual is also a handy companion when writing Gtk3 programs in Perl: http://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/. The Perl bindings follow the C API very closely, and the C reference documentation should be considered the canonical source.

Blackbox is the fast, lightweight window manager for the X Window System you have been looking for, without all those annoying dependencies. It is built with C++ and contains completely original code (even though the graphics implementation is similar to that of Window Maker). Blackbox is written to the NetWM specification, which allows integration with modern desktop managers including KDE and Gnome. The port also provides root window changing tools, bsetroot and bsetbg, that can be installed alone, without the window manager and accompanying files.
