It was previously called DemocracyTV Player and is an application to watch Internet TV,

If you follow the instruction from the Miro homepage you get a dependency problem under Gutsy, as it depends on an older package of libboost-python. You can also find the bug report here.

If you don’t want to wait for a new version for Gutsy you can just download the required library from feisty repository.

Unfortunately I do get the following error message when starting up Miro:
/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/dbus_bindings.py:1: DeprecationWarning: The dbus_bindings module is not public API and will go away soon.

Most uses of dbus_bindings are applications catching the exception
dbus.dbus_bindings.DBusException. You should use dbus.DBusException
instead (this is compatible with all dbus-python versions since 0.40.2).

Added:
With the latest gutsy package it is now working!

So far I was always using CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor

Now I came across GFreqlet
It’s a GNOME applet for Linux that not only monitors CPU
frequency scaling, but also allows the end user to change the frequency
or governor with just a click. It automatically detects which
frequencies and governors your processor supports, so there is no
configuration required.

I think it’s basically the same, but prefer now this one as it’s newer and has its own homepage.
At the moment I’m using both and the time, but I think I’m going to stick with GFreqlet even though the icon is to large for my taste.

You can get it from here

Grandr is a GNOME Panel Applet that allow you to select screen resolution and orientation from your GNOME Panel.

It allows you to select screen resolution and orientation from you GNOME Panel. Unfortunately with my ATi X1400 I don’t have the option to choose the orientation of the Panel.

You can get a deb file from here

After you install it, select the panel you want to add it to, right
click and select “Add to Panel” then scroll thru the list and select
“Display Geometry Switcher”. A panel applet should appear

apt-listbugs is a tool which retrieves bug reports from the Debian Bug Tracking System and lists them.

If you want to be warned about critical bugs of a package that is about to be installed or upgraded, just install it it with
sudo apt-get install apt-listbugs

the network-manager newer really worked well for me. It looked very promising however. Now I came across the article Go Wireless With WCID on OSSGeeks.

There is no need to duplicate the nice article above on how to install it, as it is very good explained.

I gave it a try and I was really impressed with the simpleness of WCID.
