YAML: YAML Ain’t Markup Language
This is the notion of “freezing” Windows in time, such that it can work as-expected but be “rolled back” to a previous state.

GTorrentViewer is a GTK2-based viewer and editor for BitTorrent meta files. It is able to retrieve information from trackers, check files, show detailed information, and modify .torrent files without having to start downloading.
The purpose of GTorrentViewer is to give the ability to see and modify all the possible information from .torrent files without having to start downloading and the ability to see in real time the current number of seeds and peers on the torrent, so you will always know the status before start the download.

A steady state-type program. Discards unwanted user changes at log off or reboot and has easy application-blocking.
I was exploring security on Windows XP and wanted a state-freezing system, so I can make dangerous changes and easily roll back. I purchased Clean Slate, played with it, was unimpressed and abandoned it. I don’t know what’s changed since those days, but this is a very complex and powerful program and I bet I could have put it to better use.

A command line tool to interact with an EWMH/NetWM compatible X Window Manager. Get information, resize, move, etc.
A good tool for what it does.
