A decent little application launcher.
What a breath of fresh air after going through all sorts of semi-crappy launchers.

Tightly bound with KDE, so it was unusable for me.
 One of many styles.

A simple application launcher with intelligent autocompletion.
Awesome and extremely smart; more so than something like Bash or Zsh tab completion. I use it with my run.sh

A simple application launcher.
Small and to the point, but it’s just bad.

A fork of audacious2 by one of its original developers. The reasoning isn’t known.

There are several pages for it, but I have this one working:
https://github.com/dlitz/xtoolwait
Xtoolwait notably decreases the startup time of an X session by reducing the load on the X server and Linux.
It starts an X client in the background, waits for a window to be mapped on the root window, and then exits. It can improve performance for users who start a bunch of X clients automatically (for example, xterm, xlock, xconsole, whatever) when the X session starts.

Transparent X on-screen display.
It’s fairly insane. It’s way too unix-like to be usable by mere mortals. You’d think that you could run ‘xosd’ to run the program, but you’re wrong. It’s actually osd_cat ..

Comes with an XMMS plugin.
