Snixembed is a program to proxy StatusNotifierItems as XEmbedded systemtray-spec icons. This allows programs that only support the newer StatusNotifierItem to have the older XEmbedded systemtray support. While snixembed works fine with most setups, some bars and DEs provide their own optional SNI support, which should be preferred when available.

Currently supported:

• icons (by pixmap and by freedesktop name)

• activation on left mouse button

• context menu on right mouse button (Menu dbusmenu or ContextMenu)

• tooltips (on hover, all markup except hyperlinks)

• limited AppIndicator support as a fallback

xdg-user-dirs is a tool to help manage "well known" user directories, such as the desktop folder or the music folder. It also handles localization (i.e. translation) of the file names. Designed to be automatically run when a user logs in, xdg-user-dirs can also be run manually by a user.

UDisks provides interfaces to enumerate and perform operations on disks and storage devices. Any application (including unprivileged ones) can access the udisksd(8) daemon via the name org.freedesktop.UDisks2 on the system message bus.

This package provides wayland-info tool that can be used to check which Wayland protocols and versions are advertised by the Wayland compositor.

Plymouth is an application that runs very early in the boot process and that provides a graphical boot animation while the boot process happens in the background. You are not supposed to install this on your own, it is only useful with system integration.

This package provides a backend implementation for xdg-desktop-portal which uses GTK+ and various pieces of GNOME infrastructure, such as the org.gnome.Shell.Screenshot or org.gnome.SessionManager D-Bus interfaces.

Weston is the reference implementation of a Wayland compositor, and a useful compositor in its own right.

A Wayland compositor allows applications to render to a shared offscreen buffer using OpenGL ES. The compositor then culls the hidden parts and composes the final output. A Wayland compositor is essentially a multiplexer to the KMS/DRM Linux kernel devices.

Displaying and dumping information on Direct Rendering Manager devices.

The shared-mime-info package contains the core database of common types and the update-mime-database command used to extend it. It requires glib2 to be installed for building the update command. Additionally, it uses intltool for translations, though this is only a dependency for the maintainers. This database is translated at Transifex.

libdecor is a library that can help Wayland clients draw window decorations for them. It aims to provide multiple backends that implements the decoration drawing.

cChardet is a character encoding detector, written in Python, that binds to the C library uchardet to increase performance.

PackageKit provides a way of performing package management tasks, e.g. updating, removing and installing software. Through supporting many backends, PackageKit can perform these tasks using the appropriate package manager for the current system.

Telepathy logger is a headless observer client that logs information received by the Telepathy framework. It features pluggable backends to log different sorts of messages in different formats.

AppStream is a cross-distribution effort for enhancing the way we interact with the software repositories provided by distributions by standardizing software component metadata. It provides the foundation to build software-center applications, by providing metadata necessary for an application-centric view on package repositories. It additionally provides specifications for things like an unified software metadata database, screenshot services and various other things needed to create user-friendly application-centers for distributions.

Some projects rely on the sd-bus library for DBus support. However not all systems have systemd or elogind installed. This library provides just sd-bus (and the busctl utility).

This package provides Wayland protocols designed for use in wlroots (and other compositors).

ModemManager is a DBus-activated daemon which controls mobile broadband (2G/3G/4G) devices and connections. Whether built-in devices, USB dongles, bluetooth-paired telephones, or professional RS232/USB devices with external power supplies, ModemManager is able to prepare and configure the modems and setup connections with them.

Telepathy Mission Control 5 is an account manager and channel dispatcher for the Telepathy framework, allowing user interfaces and other clients to share connections to real-time communication services without conflicting.

File::Mimeinfo can be used to determine the MIME type of a file. It tries to implement the Freedesktop specification for a shared MIME database.

This package also contains two related utilities:

• mimetype determines a file's MIME type;

• mimeopen opens files in an appropriate program according to their MIME type.
