GNOME Media Applet 0.4 offers you an outstanding and very useful application which can easily manage disks and devices on your system. GNOME Media Applet is a panel applet for GNOME to easily mount/unmount removable media. Its similar (in the purpose) to the drivemount applet but with a nice user interface. It is based on ejecter 0.0.9 a small utility to unmount removable media, by Federico Pelloni.

GNOME Panel Applet can display system temperatures, fan speeds and voltage readings from hardware sensors under Linux.
Supported interfaces:
- ACPI thermal zones, via the Linux kernel ACPI modules
- Linux kernel i2c modules (for kernel 2.6).
- lm_sensors and i2c packages (for kernel 2.4)
- Linux kernel i8k module (for Dell Inspiron Laptops).
- Linux kernel PowerPC modules therm_adt746x and therm_windtunnel.
- hddtemp daemon for reading temperatures from S.M.A.R.T. equipped disks.
- Linux kernel Omnibook module.
Includes a simple, yet highly customizable display and intuitive user-interface.
Alarms can be set for each sensor to notify the user once a certain high or low value has been reached, and can be configured to execute a given command at given repeated intervals.
Only requires the standard GNOME libraries (libpanelapplet-2) to install since is written in C.
GNOME HIG v2.0 compliant
NOTE: Debian, Fedora and most other users need to do a ./configure --prefix=/usr to ensure the applet is installed in the correct place.

The GNOME 2.12 Desktop is the latest release of the ever popular, multi-platform free desktop environment - on time, to the day! It includes a number of interesting new features and hundreds of bug fixes.

GNOME is...

Free

GNOME is Free Software and part of the GNU project, dedicated to giving users and developers the ultimate level of control over their desktops, their software, and their data. Find out more about the GNU project and Free Software at gnu.org.

Usable

GNOME understands that usability is about creating software that is easy for everyone to use, not about piling on features. GNOMEs community of professional and volunteer usability experts have created Free Softwares first and only Human Interface Guidelines, and all core GNOME software is adopting these principles. Find out more about GNOME and usability at the GNOME Usability Project.

Accessible

Free Software is about enabling software freedom for everyone, including users and developers with disabilities. GNOMEs Accessibility framework is the result of several years of effort, and makes GNOME the most accessible desktop for any Unix platform. Find out more at the GNOME Accessibility Project.

International

GNOME is used, developed and documented in dozens of languages, and we strive to ensure that every piece of GNOME software can be translated into all languages. Find out more at the GNOME Translation Project.

Developer-friendly

Developers are not tied to a single language with GNOME. You can use C, C++, Python, Perl, Java, even C#, to produce high-quality applications that integrate smoothly into the rest of your Unix or Linux desktop.

Organized

GNOME strives to be an organized community, with a foundation of several hundred members, usability, accessibility, and QA teams, and an elected board. GNOME releases are defined by the GNOME Release Team and are scheduled to occur every six months.

Supported

Beyond the worldwide GNOME Community, GNOME is supported by the leading companies in Linux and Unix, including HP, MandrakeSoft, Novell, Red Hat, and Sun. Find out more at foundation.gnome.org.

A community

Perhaps more than anything else, GNOME is a worldwide community of volunteers who hack, translate, design, QA, and generally have fun together. Find out more at GNOME Developers site.

DebUpdate Applet is a GNOME2 panel applet that periodically checks for Debian package updates from a Debian Update Server.
At the interval you specify, the applet will query a Debian Update Server(See the DUS link below) for updated and new packages for your Debian system(you can over-ride the release and architecture if you wish). When new updates are available the applets panel icon,a Debian "swirl", will rotate.
Configurable options include:
- Update interval
- Check for new packages?
- Check for upgradable packages?
- Check for updated packages?
- Colorize list?
- Debian release(autodetect, stable, testing, and unstable)
- Debian architecture(autodetect, sparc,i386,m68k, etc...)
- Server to query

Bloglines Notifier is a Gnome panel applet that monitors a Bloglines account and displays an alert when there new items.

When there are new items the applet displays a tooltip with the count of unread items. Also one can double click on the applet in order to launch a web browser and point it at the Bloglines account being monitored.

Wireless Applet is a gnome-panel applet that shows up the status of your wireless card.

This applet used to be in the default Gnome releases before it was replaced around v2.10 or so. Some users prefer it over the new one, so we decided to post it here for easy access to it.

This is a very simple applet that provides a way of notifying you that a particular time has arrived. It allows you to display a dialog box with a message in it, execute a command, play a sound file or make the applet flash on and off at a particular time of day.
This all came about because on numerous occasions there has been something that i needed to be doing, but was late for because i had become engrossed in programming something or other. Well, here is a little panel applet that should hopefully help.
Version restrictions:
The sound file that is used for sound alarms can be changed on the fly and the next sound alarm will use the new file. This may or may not cause a memory leak if you change the file a lot, so be careful for the moment.
The volume control doesnt work yet, so youll have to change that manually using a mixer program.
I have only tested this applet myself, so there are probably bugs that i havent found yet, or better ways of doing things.
If you compile the applet withou sound support, the option to have a sound alarm is still available, although it doesnt actually do anything. I could sort this out by putting loads of #ifdefs all over the place, but i happen to agree that it makes for ugly code which is difficult to maintain.
Enhancements:
- Added patches from Bruno Pires Marinho that fixed a few things and changed a few things for the better.
- NB. This will probably be the last release that contains bug fixes/features that have been contributed by myself. If i find any horrendous bugs then ill fix them, but if you want anything added from now on, then youll have to do it yourself and send me a patch.
Any new releases of the current code after this will be based on this new system of code modifcation and delegation.
