the konfabulous konfabulator
This could be a real trend setter - interface widgets defined in XML that can hook into all manner of info sources - I've a clock, a weather feed, a news channel, a picture slideshow... it's a bit like Desktop Sidebar, except that all the components are separate.
if you know a little XML and JavaScript, you can define your own widgets in no time. And they're working on a graphical editor.
This is power to the user: the desktop interface becomes filled with really useful bits and pieces that do exactly what you want them do.

We have been doing this in Linux for years. (gDesklets does pretty much *exactly* the same thing)
