"Screenlets" v0.0.4 (like OSX Dashboard)
,----[ Quote ]
| Screenlets are small owner-drawn applications (written in Python,
| a very simple object-oriented programming-language) that can be
| described as "the virtual representation of things lying/standinga
| round on your desk". Sticknotes, clocks, rulers, ... the
| possibilities are endless. The goal of the Screenlets base-class(es)
| is to simplify the creation of fully themeable mini-apps that each
| solve basic desktop-work-related needs and generally improve the
| usability and eye-candy of the modern Linux-desktop.

| Jackfield is an application for the Gnome desktop that plays host to
| widgets; small applications to do the things you need. It can run
| widgets from Apple's Dashboard, will eventually be able to run those
| from Yahoo's Widget Engine, Microsoft's Gadget Sidebar, and Opera
| Widgets, and you can write your own.
