gDesklets - Gnome2's Karamba
Deusy writes "Footnotes is running an update article on gDesklets, Gnome's answer to KDE's Karamba. I've heard a lot of noise with regards to Karamba (and Super Karamba) and a lot of moans from Gnome users about the lack of a Gnome equivalent. Hopefully this should fill that void and more, as one of the developers comments that gDesklets is the product of "months of planning" and describes Karamba as an "ugly hack"."
Woah, woah, woah, they work for the GNOME project. They don't need to explain why their version is going to be better. It's better becauyse it's GNOME. And GNOME is always better than KDE. Didn't you get the royal decree?
... and call it iKaramba.

I'll see myself out ...
$ tar xjf gdesklets.tar.gz ./configure --prefix=/opt/gnome2/ /doc/html/index.sgml
$ cd gdesklets-0.1

Bach blah...
$ make

$ make install

Help! I cant rtfm because this IS the FM!
Now you know why you need a "Show Desktop" shortcut and/or button in the panel. :-)
Why should Karamba be any different? The whole point of the GNOME project is to deliver a C language version of KDE functionality about a year later.
Without a doubt. When the new young chicks walk buy at work, you like to have the nice rig with the smooth desktop displaying your full coolness.
Something like this could get one of them to actually stop.
"You like my desklets baby!?" "I can hook you up."
Yea, I'm feeling it already.
Yesterday we went to the supermarket and found
the shelves full of lovely goods. Indeed, we
were allowed freely to browse the rows and rows
of delectable consumer goods, and we soon made
ourselves busy by opening various packages and
eating what we wanted, as well as filling our
pockets and bags with the many beautiful things.
I have to admit it was a wonderful fifty
minutes. Imagine our surprise, therefore, when
at the exit we were rudely stopped by a security
guard and asked to pay for the goods we
had consumed. There was no reason for this, and
we were very angry. Needless to say, I will not
be going back to this shop, and I encourage all
of you to boycott this thing we call "capitalism"
most strongly. The very idea that one person can
somehow restrict the rights of others to come in
and eat his food, drink his soda, and chew on his
liquorice sticks is an affront to all civilized
society. I am now returning to North Korea where
people have a more decent view on such matters.
Thank you for your time.

Well, I suppose it's possible. However, let's look at the evidence:
1. Dude showing off his "cool" computer shit.
2. Girls _generally_ don't care about machinery, and when they do, they don't _generally_ care about eye candy.
3. This is a linux desktop bit, dude into linux isn't _generally_ going to have more than one chick to check it out.
There, I think I insulted enough people for one message.....
If it really is a SuperKaramba clone, the attraction is watching your Dual 2GHz machine slow to a crawl while updating a god damn clock.
In Soviet America the banks rob you!
