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 feature features like this long before Windows Vista came along. In fact, if you have used the KDE Linux desktop extensively you may have come across a similar feature called SuperKaramba. On the openSUSE 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 them in action you will understand why.

Once the gDesklet packages are installed, the next task is to invoke the ''gDesklet Shell'' configuration tool. After installation the tool will be listed under ''Utilities'' in the ''Applications Browser'' (accessed by pressing the ''Computer'' button on the desktop panel and pressing ''More Applications...''). Enter ''gDesklet'' into the ''Filter'' field to locate the utility. If you plan to access this utility right click on it and select ''Add to Favorites'' so that it appears on the main ''Computer'' panel. Click on it to launch it.
