Nice job! Any chance we could get a "what's new" RSS feed, maybe break up that "Other" category, and add a "Games" category? Jeez, I'm so demanding...

alltray worked for me with beryl

just make sure you click inside the window, not the title bar.

Right now it is not working for me with Fusion.

i dont know if its been emntioned because im too lazy to read through all 40 odd pages, but i use qjoypad, its for configuring your gamepad strangely enough, it lets you use keystrokes for actions on the gamepad.
so for example you can program it to work with beryl, and other stuff, some people have used it to turn their game pads into remote controls for watching dvds and tv on their pc,s
i think its a good little applications if you need such a thing.
http://qjoypad.sourceforge.net/

I dunno if this was said, but I use Tilda quite a lot. It is a a Quake-like console for Gnome, and is now easily customizable. Also, I use Desktop Icon Preferences to organize my desktop.

Screenlets are definately not as popular as Superkaramba, but I find it useful because the Superkaramba in the repos is still at 3.5. Lastly, I use Opera (I know, people may know of this, but I want to mention it anyway) because it is faster than Firefox (Firefox is BLOATED) while still being really functional.

To the same effect there's Rejoystick, in the repos.

I configured my Logitech gamepad for Mupen, Gens, GXMame, and even xspect (Speccy emulator) with it, and it works flawlessly.

Just to note that I couldn't use the gamepad any other way, so Rejoystick is a must for my retro gaming.
