GTK graphical user interface library -- gir bindings

GNU Emacs editor (without GUI support)

GNU Emacs is the extensible self-documenting text editor. This package contains a version of Emacs compiled without support for X, and provides only a text terminal interface.

evilwm is based on aewm by Decklin Foster. It's minimalist in that it omits unnecessary stuff like window decorations and icons. But it's very usable in that it provides good keyboard control with repositioning and maximize toggles, solid window drags, snap-to-border support, and virtual desktops.

architecture independent files for Evolution

This package contains the architecture independent files needed by the evolution package.

This is the GNOME Desktop environment, an intuitive and attractive desktop, with extra components.

This metapackage depends on the standard distribution of the GNOME desktop environment, plus a complete range of plugins and other applications integrating with GNOME and Debian, providing the best possible environment to date.

KDE window manager, common files

ALSA library additional plugins

Filesystem in Userspace (FUSE) is a simple interface for userspace programs to export a virtual filesystem to the Linux kernel. It also aims to provide a secure method for non privileged users to create and mount their own filesystem implementations.

GTK is a multi-platform toolkit for creating graphical user interfaces. Offering a complete set of widgets, GTK is suitable for projects ranging from small one-off tools to complete application suites.

spell-checking addon for GTK+'s TextView widget

GtkSpell provides Microsoft Word/OS X-style highlighting of misspelled words in a GtkTextView widget. Right-clicking a misspelled word pops up a menu of suggested replacements.

KWin (pronounced as one syllable "kwin") is the window manager for the KDE Plasma Desktop. It gives you complete control over your windows, making sure they're not in the way but aid you in your task. It paints the window decoration, the bar on top of every window with (configurable) buttons like close, maximize and minimize. It also handles placing of windows and switching between them.

This package contains the base library.

runtime files for the OpenEXR image library

Documentation for libtorrent-rasterbar

This package contains documentation and example files.

This is a transitional dummy package, it can be safely removed.

Suitesparse is a collection of libraries for computations involving sparse matrices.

Layout and rendering of internationalized text - installed tests

PulseAudio, previously known as Polypaudio, is a sound server for POSIX and WIN32 systems. It is a drop in replacement for the ESD sound server with much better latency, mixing/re-sampling quality and overall architecture.

This package contains test programs, designed to be run as part of a regression testsuite.

Loadable modules for extending Sylpheed features

This package comprises all loadable plugins which are included with Sylpheed sources. Plugins extend Sylpheed by providing new features and/or capabilities not present in core application.

Utility for manipulating storage encryption keys and passphrases

This package provides a command-line tool for manipulating storage volume encryption keys and storing them separately from volumes.

The main goal of the software is to allow restoring access to an encrypted hard drive if the primary user forgets the passphrase. The encryption key back up can also be useful for extracting data after a hardware or software failure that corrupts the header of the encrypted volume, or to access the company data after an employee leaves abruptly.

simple word processor for writing first drafts

Xfce is a lightweight desktop environment for unix-like operating systems. It aims to be fast and lightweight, while still being visually appealing and easy to use. Designed for productivity, it loads and executes applications fast, while conserving system resources.

This package is a metapackage; it depends on the core packages of the Xfce4 desktop environment and recommends some extra Xfce4 packages. If you intend to use Xfce4 and want the full experience then installing this package and the packages it Recommends is a great place to start.

If you just want to pick and choose the core components then feel free to remove this package.

100 dpi ISO 8859-5 encoded Cyrillic fonts for X (Cronyx collection)

This package provides a set of bitmapped Cyrillic fonts at 100 dots per inch. These are ISO 8859-5 fonts and support the Belarusian, Bulgarian, Macedonian, Russian and Serbian scripts. In most cases it is desirable to have the X font server (xfs) and/or an X server installed to make the fonts available to X clients.

This package and xfonts-cronyx-isocyr-75dpi provide the same set of fonts, rendered at different resolutions; only one or the other is necessary, but both may be installed. xfonts-cronyx-isocyr-100dpi may be more suitable for large monitors and/or large screen resolutions (over 1024x768).
