Mark Lord’s ‘symlinks’ utility.

Scans directories for symbolic links, and identifies dangling, relative, absolute, messy, and other_fs links. Can optionally change absolute links to relative within a given filesystem. Recommended for use by anyone developing and/or maintaining a Linux FTP site or distribution or CD-ROM.

A customizable lightweight panel/taskbar.

Touted as being light. It’s not bad. Very annoying to configure, and has no menu.
