This is the official application from the Openbox developers to
configure the Openbox window manager. It is not needed, but highly
recommended when installing Openbox.
Openbox is a window manager for the X Window System. It currently runs
on a large list of platforms. It was originally based on Blackbox, but
is, since version 3.0, a complete reimplementation with these features,
among others:
o ICCCM and EWMH compliance o Chainable key bindings o Customizable
mouse actions o Window resistance o Multihead Xinerama support o Pipe
menus
The configuration tool "obconf" is recommended along with this package.
Parcellite is a stripped down, basic-features-only clipboard manager with a
small memory footprint for those who like simplicity.
In GNOME and Xfce the clipboard manager will be started automatically. For
other desktops or window managers you should also install a panel with a
system tray or notification area if you want to use this package.
An extremly fast, lightweight, yet feature-rich
file manager with tabbed browsing. It's also the
LXDE default file manager. This is a complete
rewrite of the old pcmanfm 0.5.x series
SpliX is a set of CUPS printer drivers for SPL (Samsung Printer
Language) printers. Some Samsung, Xerox and Dell printers use that
language.
VDE is a virtual network that can be spawned over a set of physical
computer over the Internet
VDE connects together:
(1) real GNU-linux boxes (tuntap)
(2) virtual machines: UML-User Mode Linux, qemu, bochs, MPS.
VDE can be used:
(i) to create a general purpose tunnel (every protocol that runs
on a Ethernet can be put into the tunnel)
(ii) to connect a set of virtual machine to the Internet with no
need of free access of tuntap
(iii) to support mobility: a VDE can stay interconnected despite
of the change of virtual cables, i.e. the change of IP addresses
and interface in the real world
XMMS2 is an audio framework, but it is not a general multimedia player - it
will not play videos. It has a modular framework and plugin architecture for
audio processing, visualisation and output, but this framework has not been
designed to support video. Also the client-server design of XMMS2 (and the
daemon being independent of any graphics output) practically prevents direct
video output being implemented. It has support for a wide range of audio
formats, which is expandable via plugins. It includes a basic CLI interface
to the XMMS2 framework, but most users will want to install a graphical XMMS2
client (such as gxmms2 or esperanza).
SpliX is a set of CUPS printer drivers for SPL
(Samsung Printer Language) printers. Some Samsung,
Xerox and Dell printers use that language.
VDE is an ethernet compliant virtual network that can be
spawned over a set of physical computer over the Internet.
VDE is part of virtualsquare project.
galculator is a GTK 2 based calculator with ordinary notation/reverse polish notation, a formula entry mode, different number bases (DEC, HEX, OCT, BIN) and different units of angular measure (DEG, RAD, GRAD).
The Aurora Gtk Engine themes all common Gtk widgets to provide
an attractive, complete and consistent look for Gtk applications.
Leafpad is a simple GTK+ text editor that emphasizes simplicity.
As development focuses on keeping weight down to a minimum,
only the most essential features are implemented in the editor.
Leafpad is simple to use, is easily compiled, requires few libraries,
and starts up quickly.
Currently Leafpad has the following features:
* Codeset option (Some OpenI18N registered)
* Auto codeset detection (UTF-8 and some codesets)
* Unlimitted Undo/Redo
* Auto/Multi-line Indent
* Display line numbers
* Drag and Drop
* Printing

gtkdialog)

This package contain lots of configuration used by LXDE desktop
with openSUSE branding settings. LXDE will looks just nicer.
