Affinity Affinty is a desktop search tool, which hopes to provide a quick way to get at all the different information on your desktop. It achieves this by having various back-ends, but implemented through one standard interface.
Current Features

• Front-end to both the Beagl and Tracker desktop search engines.
• Has actions (configurable through Desktop files), which speed up common tasks.
• Has built-in, user-configurable, filters which work in the the entry box, so typing pics:london will only bring up pictures.
• Super-fast application searching through an built-in list of applications.
• Colours can be customised to your taste.
• Lives in the system-tray, but can be called by a global key stroke. Default is Ctrl+Alt+a, but you can change it to anything you like!

Alerttail Alerttail monitors a given file and executes a list of actions when a user-defined text pattern has been written to the file. For example, the user can pop up a GTK notification window when a certain message is written to a log file. Actions can be alerttail-built-in actions (GTK notify action, geoipLocalization action, or filtering text action) or a custom user defined shell command action.

Avant Window Navigator Avant Window Navgator (Awn) is a dock-like bar which sits at the bottom of the screen (in all its composited-goodness) tracking open windows.

Awn uses libwnck to keep a track of open windows, and behaves exactly like a normal window-list:

• Clicking an icon switches to that window, clicking again will minimise the window
• Right-clicking will bring up a menu extactly like that of what you see on the window-list, allowing you to max, min, close, resize etc the window.
• Dragging something on top of an icon will activate that window.
• Visually (and quite attractively) responds to 'needs attention' & 'urgent' events
• Can show windows from the entire viewport, or just the visible viewport.
