Tkgoodstuff for the X Window System is a utility panel or button bar that can easily be configured using a GUI preferences manager. Written in Tcl/Tk, tkgoodstuff includes "clients:" an analog/digital alarm clock, a new mail indicator, a log file watcher, a web browser launcher, a dialup network dialer and status indicator, a note taker/manager, a calendar program alarm daemon, and more. In addition to the clients, you can configure buttons to run commands and you can embed any X program window in your bar.
