Commonly used GNOME 2 themes that are not a part of the
x11-toolkits/gnome-themes package.
A very artistic X window manager. Among other attributes,
Enlightenment makes for quite impressive screen shots.
iDesk lets you put launch icons and background directly on the
root window of your X.
Programatically (or manually) simulate keyboard input or mouse activity
using X11's XTEST extension.
MxIco(Maho's eXtended ICO) is a simple demo for X, rotating polyhedra
in the window.
gsynaptics is a setting tool for Synaptics Touchpad
driver for XFree86 4.x/XOrg.
pdnsd is a proxy dns server with permanent caching (the cache contents are
written to hard disk on exit) that is designed to cope with unreachable or
down dns servers (for example in dial-in networking).
pdnsd can be used with applications that do dns lookups, eg on startup, and
can't be configured to change that behavior, to prevent the often minute-long
hangs (or even crashes) that result from stalled dns queries. Some Netscape
Navigator versions for Unix, for example, expose this behavior.
pdnsd is configurable via a file and supports run-time configuration using the
program pdnsd-ctl that comes with pdnsd. This allows you to set the status
flags of servers that pdnsd knows (to influence which servers pdnsd will
query), and the addition, deletion and invalidation of DNS records in pdnsd's
cache.
Parallel name server queries are supported. This is a technique that allows
querying several servers at the same time so that very slow or unavailable
servers will not block the answer for one timeout interval.
Since version 1.0.0, pdnsd has full IPv6 support.
Japanese 20 dot fonts(`Kappa20dot').
You can use:
k20[mb] mincho/gothic (JIS X 0208)
('m' for medium mincho, 'b' for bold mincho)
10x20[mb] ascii (ISO-8859-1(Latin 1))
10x20rk[mb] kana (JIS X 0201)
10x20L[239][mb] ISO 8859-[239] (Latin [239])
ipa-10x20[mb] Mule IPA fonts
vk20[mb] k20[mb] modified for vertical writings
Italic(slanted) fonts are available with 'i' postfix.
An example usage:
% kterm -fn a20m -fb a20b -fr r10m -frb a20b -fk k20m -fkb k20b -lsp 3
or in your Xresources file:
KTerm*VT100*fontList: -kappa-fixed-medium-r-normal--20-*
KTerm*VT100*boldFontList: -kappa-fixed-bold-r-normal--20-*
The cdecimal is a fast drop-in replacement for the decimal module in Python's
standard library. Both modules provide complete implementations of the General
Decimal Arithmetic Specification.
Typical performance gains are between 30x for I/O heavy benchmarks and 80x for
numerical programs. In a database benchmark, cdecimal exhibits a speedup of
12x over decimal.py.
decimal cdecimal speedup
pi 42.75s 0.58s 74x
telco 172.19s 5.68s 30x
psycopg 3.57s 0.29s 12x
All Python versions from 2.5 up to 3.2 are supported. For the few remaining
differences, read the cdecimal documentation. cdecimal has been included in
Python-3.3.
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.
These libraries are currently included, roughly ordered by maturity:
aux: Convenient access to connection setup and some core requests.
atom: Standard core X atom constants and atom caching.
property: Callback X property-change handling.
event: Callback X event handling.
