Changes

<hr>

If you've spent any time with Windows Vista you may have seen the small applets that run on the desktop, things such as a clock and a weather widget. It will probably come as no surprise to you that Linux had a feature like this long before Windows Vista came along. On the Fedora GNOME desktop this functionality is provided by technology called ''gDesklets''. The creators of the gDesklets technology call it ''Eye candy for the desktop'', and once you've had a change to see it in action you will understand why.

== Launching gDesklets ==

Once the gDesklet packages are installed, invoke the configuration tool from the ''Applications->Accessories->gDesklets''. The ''gDesklets Shell'' dialog will appear with a list of categories of desklets currently installed and available for use. Browse through the options and select a gDesklet to run (the ''GoodWeather'' desklet is my favorite). With the desklet selected, select ''File->Run Selected Desklet''. The desklet will start up and appear on the desktop. Move the desklet to the desired location and click with the left hand mouse button.
