About the widgets, it's a great idea ! But the choice of app will be important:
There's screenlets, which looks very promising: http://hendrik.kaju.pri.ee/screenlets/ " Screenlets are small owner-drawn applications (written in Python, a very simple object-oriented programming-language) that can be described as "the virtual representation of things lying/standing around on your desk". Sticknotes, clocks, rulers, the possibilities are endless. The goal of the Screenlets base-class is to simplify the creation of fully themeable mini-apps that each solve basic desktop-work-related needs and generally improve the usability and eye-candy of the modern Linux desktop. " * it looks nice * it has meteo, clocks, etc... <---- who said text to speech? * it uses python and gnome * beryl hackers just introduced screenlets support (http://forum.ubuntu-fr.org/viewtopic.php?pid=714671), an OSX Dashboard like. Let's just hope they will eventually support osx's widget format one day... What do you think? Should we build widgets using screenlets?
