Zimbra Desktop is the next generation leap forward for Web 2.0 applications- now you can have Zimbras Ajax-based collaboration experience online and offline.
That means when you are out of the office without a connection (say, in a plane, train, or automobile), you can keep working without missing a beat.
Zimbra Desktop benefits:
- The better overall usability of Web 2.0 (conversation view, tags, Zimlets) comes to the desktop; plus the web and desktop experience are now the same
- Switch from online to offline mode seamlessly and automatically; when online you are immune to hiccups and interruptions caused by server latency
- Faster search, better rich mail rendering, and a self-organizing inbox more adept handling larger email volumes than traditional clients (no more 2GB mailbox limits!)
- Significantly reduced administration overhead managing and maintaining local files; they are synced to the Zimbra Server where they can be safeguarded
- Fundamentally a cross browser, cross platform solution (Windows, Apple, Linux)
- Its open source; expensive investments in proprietary clients are no longer required
This project will help you write emails, add new appointments, edit documents; when you re-connect changes will be automatically synced to the Zimbra Server.
Main features:
- Full email support: compose, edit, delete, reply, or make drafts online and offline
- Fast Zimbra search including Advanced Search builder

ChangeWallpaper application has two scripts for change your background in Gnome, from a Folder with several images or from art.gnome.org

This application is two scripts. One of them changes the wallpaper of your Gnome desktop from a Folder of your election. This script hence the necessary of wallpapers on that folder.

The second one, and for me the best, change your background with a random one selected from art.gnome.org.

For both of them you must select the softlink that its generated the first time you run it, and the add the script to you session manager, with this every time you boot your PC and log into your account you will see a new background.

The QDS library allows Qt applications to access features provided in common desktop APIs in a portable way, without requiring dependencies on any desktop platform library.
This is especially useful for applications targeting the Unix desktops, because Qt/X11 is very generic and only provides features it can implement on all sub platforms. All library code is licenced under 2-clause BSD licence.
Service implementations are loaded from plugins which link to the respective desktop libraries. The plugin to use can be specified on the applications commandline, in the QDS configuration file or QDS can try to autodetect the currently running platform.
Enhancements:
- Autodetection to use GNOME plugin in case GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID is set
- Replaced the primitive example application with a simple but network aware text editor application
- Support for wildcards in mailcap entries

A note to Konqueror / Safari users: We do respect the work of the Open Source community, especially the K-Teams. However we did not have the time to dig too much into why Konqueror does not work as the others. But because Mozilla 1.x does work and comes with most Linux boxes, we focused on development of the supported browsers, rather than finding the key issues of this problem.
A note to Opera fans: Unfortunately the css and javascript support of all current versions does not allow many operations we do need (like dynamic clipping etc.) We did hope that the upcoming Opera 7.x version can be included as well. But so it is not the case.
Despite the success of NS 4.x it is clearly in excess of age. Therefore we are sorry to inform that NS 4.x or any prior versions of above mentioned browser cannot be used. In addition, the javascript engine of NS7.x seems to be very slow when moving or resizing desktop windows.

Desktop Multiplier project is a software add-on that allows your dual-head Linux PC support two independent users.

Desktop Multiplier is a set of standard Linux packages that extends the X Window System to support up to 10 fully independent and concurrent workstations and users on a single computer box.

This is accomplished by adding video cards, USB keyboards and mice to a single standard computer. Desktop Multiplier is compatible with all single and dual-headed video cards supported by X.Org/XFree86 and has been tested on most major 2.6 kernel Linux distributions (see /supported systems/
for details).

Desktop Multiplier is delivered as a single zip file containing either a .RPM or .DEB package and supports a variety of Linux distributions.

Utilities package:

This package includes programs, scripts and config files for system configuration, keyboard/mouse assignment and device hot-plug capabilities. Files are named:

- 1box-utils-k26-< version >.i386.rpm (For RPM package-based systems)

- 1box-utils-k26-< version >.i386.deb (For DEB package-based systems)

Multi-station X server package:

This package contains the Userful Multi-Station X-Server, which supports multiple simultaneous local users. Files are named:

- 1box-server-xorg-< version >.i386.rpm (For RPM package based systems)

- 1box-server-xorg-< version >.i386.deb (For DEB package based systems)

DualView functionality:

Desktop Multipliers DualView functionality enables each station to support up to five users each of whom has an individual desktop that spans two monitors. You can configure monitors to use DualView during the Desktop Multiplier installation process. Note that the two monitors that display a DualView desktop must be connected to the same video card.

Wallpaper Slideshow is a software to make a slideshow in your wallpaper with images in your directory.

This application monitories a directory and put an image in wallpaper before X seconds.

You need mono and if you have ubuntu 6.10, only need to do: sudo aptitude install -y libmono2.0-cil libgconf2.0-cil gtk-sharp2.

Wallpaper Tray is a wallpaper utility that sits on the GNOME panel.

The project gives you a random wallpaper from a chosen directory at logon, on a timer, and allows you to select a new wallpaper at random from its menu.

UPDATE: I have had reports from users on Ubuntu that Wallpaper Tray is broken, something about the config dialog not appearing. It works fine on FC5. It also works on FC6. I suspect that the Ubuntu package needs rebuilding, hopefully this will happen for 0.5.3.

From here on in, I wont be touch packages, I will support the Autopackage project, which is designed to support the distribution of non core programs like mine.
he Applet lets you add directories, wallpapers are then randomly selected at login or at a given interval. You can also search your wallpaper collection, and delete wallpapers you dont like anymore.

Wallpaper Tray, as the name suggests, used to be live in the Notification Area. The Notification Area was never really meant for programs such as this, so the latest release uses the Gnome Panel. The last of 0.4.x series is still available however, for those that would rather stick with this way of working.
