I checked those out, downloaded a handful of them, and tried some out. But couldn't get any of the functionality out of them that I was looking for. E.g., previously (C5.9) there were nice, little applets to: - show the current weather; click on for forecasts and weather maps; - selecting to paste buffer from several sets of odd characters and characters and characters from foreign languages; - icons, clicking on which could fire virtually any executable on the system; - "drawers", clicking on which popped an entire column of any of the above; - and probably some other things I'm not remembering. I'm still not finding any of that in C7.2... it's like this "upgrade" is several steps backwards from the functionality in earlier CentOS version. Or am I missing something?
