Bug#233205: ITP: perlpanel -- A lean Gtk2 panel written in Perl



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

* Package name    : perlpanel
  Version         : 0.3.1

  Description     : A lean Gtk2 panel written in Perl

 PerlPanel draws a small taskbar on your screen to display some useful widgets
 like a programs menu, some shortcut icons, a clock and so on. It's similar to
 the Windows Taskbar, the Gnome Panel, and KDE's Kicker.
 .
 However, those programs are designed to be tightly integrated into the
 environment they are part of. For example, Kicker's not much use without
 KDE.
 .
 This kind of flies in the face of the Unix tradition of having lots of
 small, simple programs that don't depend on each other. Such is the
 price of user-friendliness. So users of minimalist window managers miss
 out on the useful bits of panel programs because they won't, or can't,
 run a heavy desktop environment on their systems.
 .
 This is where PerlPanel comes in. It is a panel program much in the vein
 of the Gnome Panel and Kicker, but is completely independent of any
 particular environment. So you can use it with Blackbox, for example, or
 WindowMaker.
