Freshmeat Latest Updates
Window Managers
http://freshmeat.net/articles/view/639
The freedom of choice offered by GNU and Linux, combined with the technological design of the X Window System, gives desktop users a windowing environment with a flexibility and capability that is unrivaled. In recent times, the desktop Linux world has been enriched beyond recognition by the KDE and GNOME projects, but window managers are still at the heart of these environments, as well being used widely on their own. In this review, I'll delve into this exciting world and look at the development and the state of the art of some of the most significant and most popular window managers.

DOM Tooltip 0.3.0
http://freshmeat.net/releases/105078/
DOM Tooltip allows developers to have dynamic and configurable tooltips on HTML pages. This library supports Mozilla/Netscape6+, IE 5+, Konqueror, and Opera 7. The tooltips are configured through three class definitions in a stylesheet, and consist of two parts, the caption and the content, where the caption is optional. Tooltips can be either greasy or sticky, where sticky tips stick around after mouseout and require a click to close. Sticky tips are also draggable. The key to this project is that it is powerful, yet simple. "Tooltips" can also mean dynamic embedded windows (using iframes, hidden HTML, or even hidden forms) or custom context menus for mouse click events. The infamous select box z-index bug in IE/Mozilla is also handled by this library automatically.
