ouriço is a simple EWMH taskbar (no clocks, icons, trays, bells or whistles). It has extra functionality specially designed for echinus. tar.gz (0.1.6) [20080821] hg (tip)

skb is a simple keyboard layout indicator. Too simple, really. It prints the name of layout to its output, nothing more. I had skb as a patch for conky some time ago, but have no idea where it's now. skbgui is a gui for skb using Xlib. It draws a small rectangle with layout name with given color, nothing more again. tar.gz (skb) tar.gz (skbgui)

dmenu-xft is a hacked version of dmenu. I added Xft support. No, I don't like TTF, but my snap-11 is broken for some reason in utf-8 locale if I'm using plain X11 calls. It works fine with Xft, though. diff

UTF-8 (multibyte characters) selection support for xclip. diff
