$ apt-cache show gkrellmlaunch
    Package: gkrellmlaunch
    Status: install ok installed
    Priority: optional
    Section: x11
    Installed-Size: 76
    Maintainer: Matt Wright <matt@consultmatt.co.uk>
    Version: 0.3-1
    Depends: gkrellm (>= 1.2.2) | gdk-imlib1, libc6 (>= 2.2.4-4), libglib1.2 (>= 1.2.0), libgtk1.2 (>= 1.2.10-4), xlibs (>> 4.1.0)
    Description: Provides button krells to activate user-defined programs.
     A plugin which allows one-click access to frequently used
     applications from GKrellM.
     .
     Note: requires GKrellM 1.2.2 or higher.
     .
     Offering customisable buttons, GKrellMLaunch allows you to quickly
     launch a shell, Mozilla etc. with a simple click - all from GKrellM.
     .
         * Unused buttons can be hidden to save screen space.
         * Button labels can be different from command.

And I'm using the following in my apt sources.list:
    deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian testing main contrib non-free
    deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US testing/non-US main contrib non-free

    # Blackdown Java
    deb ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/linux/devel/lang/java/blackdown.org/debian woody main non-free

    # If you want to get OpenOffice.org as a deb package...
    deb http://www.phy.olemiss.edu/openoffice testing main contrib

    # mplayer
    deb http://marillat.free.fr testing main

What's interesting is that when I search on http://packages.debian.org,
I don't see any matches for that name on any of the distros... Could be
that my cache is displaying it simply because I'd installed it (I
installed it some time ago, probably February or March of last year).

Sorry if I misled anyone... :-(
