Gnome panel mania
If you’re a GNOME user I expect you’re more than familiar with the panels that come as standard with your desktop; if you use openSUSE you’re probably also familiar with the slab menu that Novell have developed. There are, however, several other applications out there that can extend and beautify your Gnome panels.
Gimmie
“Gimmie is a unique desktop organizer for Linux. It’s designed to allow easy interaction with all the applications, contacts, documents and other things you use every day.”
It can be run as either a standalone program, or as an applet integrated into an existing panel; during my time experimenting with it I used it integrated with the top panel on my desktop, and tried to use it whenever I could. The applet is divided into four main tabs: Linux, Programs, Library and People.
Avant-Window-Navigator
Avant-Window-Navigator is brilliant and is the only one of these three applications that is always running on my system, having replaced my bottom Gnome panel.
