xidle uses the XScreenSaver(3) extension to receive inactivity events
when a timeout is specified, running a specific program after the elapsed
time. xidle also monitors the very corner of the given position for
pointer activity and runs a program if the pointer sits there for more
than the specified number of seconds. This behavior is always present,
whether -timeout is specified or not.
Eterm is a color vt102 terminal emulator intended as a replacement for
xterm. It is designed with a Freedom of Choice philosophy, leaving as
much power, flexibility, and freedom as possible in the hands of the
user. It is designed to look good and work well, but takes a
feature-rich approach rather than one of minimalism while still
maintaining speed and efficiency.
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.
xpad is a sticky note application written using GTK+ 3.0 that strives to be
simple, fault-tolerant, and customizable. xpad consists of independent pad
windows; each is basically a text box in which notes can be written. Despite
being called xpad, all that is needed to run or compile it is the GTK+ 3.0
libraries. Here is a list of major features in the current xpad current
release:
* GTK+ 3.0 powered text view.
* Fault tolerant. All information is kept on the hard drive, not memory.
* xpad is very customizable. The color scheme (text, background, and window
borders) and the font can be changed.
* A customizable toolbar puts the most frequently used commands at your
fingertips.
* Support for the X session management protocol.
* Support for the www.freedesktop.org system tray proposal.

Xoids is an asteroids-type game written for X in my (spare) time. The
game was originally developed on a Sun4 system while on an oceanographic
research cruise. It's by no means finished.
While Xoids is strikingly similar to the original Asteroids game,
there are some differences:
o Full color pixmaps
o One or Two Player (duel and cooperative) modes
o Can bounce off asteroids instead of dying (if going slow)
o Shots have relative speed, and impart intertia to the ship
o Asteroids have appropriate "masses": realistic physics
o The alien (called the Slurb) tracks players rather than
flying around aimlessly
o Thrusting and using hyperspace can overheat your engines (boom!)
o Co-op mode links players together via a flexible space-cable
Perl bindings to the 2.x series of the Gtk+ graphical user interface library.
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 Gtk
programs in any language. http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/
The perl bindings follow the C API very closely, and the C reference
documentation should be considered the canonical source.

The purpose of keyboardcast is to allow you to send keystrokes to multiple
X windows at once. This allows you, for example, to control a number of
terminals connected to different but similar hosts for purposes of mass-
administration.
You can also select non-terminals. If you come up with a reasonable use
for this ability I'd be interested in hearing about it.
The program can select windows to send to either by matching their titles
(using a substring) or by clicking on them (in a method similar to GIMP's
screenshot feature).
The program also features the ability to spawn off multiple instances of
gnome-terminal executing a single command on multiple arguments (for example
executing 'ssh' on several hosts). The gnome-terminals are invoked with
the profile 'keyboardcast' if it exists (so, for example, your font size
can be smaller).
