| desktop-file-utils 0.11 | GPL | Utilities for working with desktop entries |
| desktop-file-utils contains a couple of command line utilities for working with desktop entries. It requires GLib and popt to compile, because the implementation requires Unicode utilities and such. Right now the only documentation is "desktop-file-install --help". desktop-file-validate takes a single argument, the file to validate. | ||
| drakconf-icons 10.4.13 | GPL | Icons of the Mandriva Linux Control Center |

| fluxbox 0.9.15.1 | MIT | Windowmanager based on the original blackbox-code |
| Fluxbox is yet another windowmanager for X. It's a fork from the origi- nal blackbox-0.61.1 code. Fluxbox looks like blackbox and handles styles, colors, window placement and similar thing exactly like black- box. So what's the difference between fluxbox and blackbox then? The answer is: LOTS! Have a look at the homepage for more info ;) | ||

| Contains the basic directories and files needed for icon theme support. | ||
| s2u 0.7 | GPL | System to user tools |
| Use dbus to communicate between from the system to the users. | ||
| shared-mime-info 0.19 | GPL | Shared MIME-Info Specification |
| This is the freedesktop.org shared MIME info database. Many programs and desktops use the MIME system to represent the types of files. Frequently, it is necessary to work out the correct MIME type for a file. This is generally done by examining the file's name or contents, and looking up the correct MIME type in a database. For interoperability, it is useful for different programs to use the same database so that different programs agree on the type of a file, and new rules for determining the type apply to all programs. This specification attempts to unify the type-guessing systems currently in use by GNOME, KDE and ROX. Only the name-to-type and contents-to-type mappings are covered by this spec; other MIME type information, such as the default handler for a particular type, or the icon to use to display it in a file manager, are not covered since these are a matter of style. In addition, freedesktop.org provides a shared database in this format to avoid inconsistencies between desktops. This database has been created by converting the existing KDE and GNOME databases to the new format and merging them together. | ||
| xlockmore 5.22 | MIT | An X terminal locking program |
| The xlockmore utility is an enhanced version of the standard xlock program, which allows you to lock an X session so that other users can't access it. Xlockmore runs a provided screensaver until you type in your password. Install the xlockmore package if you need a locking program to secure X sessions. | ||
At the film company DreamWorks, Ed Leonard has ported the entire graphics animation department to Linux; Shrek was created on a “renderfarm” (a powerful, refrigerator-size rack of servers) that had 800 processors running Linux. Leonard took the money he saved by not having maintenance contracts and used it to buy far more inexpensive Linux PCs. He says the money he has saved will allow DreamWorks to replace desktops and the renderfarm every two years instead of every five. — Scott Berinato
