Joe's last email made me think, every Linux user has a slightly
different desktop environment. Maybe sharing some of our configurations
and favorite apps will help folks find what works for them. So I
encourage people to do that.

My current setup: Ubuntu 14.04 (finished all the upgrades this past week)

Desktop Env: Unity

My pinned apps on the Unity Bar (so that they are always easily available):
 1. Chrome
 2. Thunderbird
 3. Emacs
 4. Pidgin
 5. XChat

Though there is 6th app that I use as much as any of those which is
Tilda (a pop over Terminal). F1 toggles Tilda visibility. So I largely
live in a world with maximized windows and a terminal overlaying them.

My favorite new recent find for an app is http://peterlevi.com/variety/
which rotates your desktop wallpaper on a regular basis.

What's your setup look like?
