Linux software

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.

Lets you launch any application with a companion system tray icon (if you have a tray, like fbpanel provides)

Even though it has a “K” it is not a KDE program.

CheckInstall will run make install (or whatever you tell it to run) and keep track of every file modified by this installation.

When it is done, CheckInstall will create a package and install it as a standard package. It will leave you a copy of the installed package in the source directory for your re-use.
