Wow! I didn't know of that thing... and that pointed me direct to gDeskLets.
Is this something new?

It seems these guys have developed a very extensible architecture!
Have anyone tried this?
Is it as nice and *easily* extensible as they say?
Many screenshots at Linucs.org show gDeskLets in action.

I wonder why Gnome / KDE / or even the distros don't pay more attention 
to these kind of projects. I think that with a good QA, some of these 
little handy things could be nicely integrated by default into the 
desktops and/or themes... we could then have a very "innovative" ;) 
desktop (has anybody seen one of those previews of the integrated bars 
that Redmond is planning for Longhorn?)
