I changed this notebook back to Ubuntu 10.10 and tried to install gadgets from applications/ubuntu software center. I tried the GTK and Qt versions but neither show the range of gadgets that I had previously seen (e.g. a clock and a few other semi-useless things). How can I find the CPU monitor gadget, calender and the "flowerpot" - similar to win7? Also, 11.04 and 11.10 both seemed to avoid gadgets - is this the current philosophy? If not, what steps are needed to install gadgets on Ubuntu 10.10 and display a reasonable selection of options?

Thanks in advance.
