Tightly bound with KDE, so it was unusable for me.

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.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/libxosd/
https://ignavus.net/xosd
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.
