Intrepid Alpha6 Deskbar Extensions

In my last Intrepid post, I tried to cover all the little things I thought would make a difference to the average desktop user, but I missed one important area: the Deskbar applet.

Although the extensions are visible in the screenshot above, I'm going to type them out here for accessibility and indexing purposes. The ones I believe to be new are emphasized (bold or strong).

• Dictionary
• History
• Recent Documents
• Web
• Programs
• Files, Folders, and Places
• Computer Actions
• Templates
• Calculator
• Tomboy Notes
• Wikipedia Suggest
• Yahoo! Suggestions
• Yahoo! Search
• Files and Folders Search
• Google Code Search
• Twitter
• Window Switcher
• Delicious Bookmarks
• Identi.ca (not visible in the screenshot)

Extensions which are present but which had errors in teh default Intrepid install were:

• Web Bookmarks (Epiphany)
• Web History (Epiphany)
• Web Searches (Epiphany)
• Beagle Live
• Mail (Address Book)
• Google Search
• Web Bookmarks (Mozilla)
• Web History (Mozilla)
• Web Searches (Mozilla)
• Developer Documentation
• Beagle

The Epiphany and Beagle extensions are obviously having errors due to the missing applications, but I don't know why the Mozilla and Mail searches are having problems. I'll look into it.

Deskbar is a great and constantly improooving part of the Ubuntu desktop. I encourage you to try it out. Alt-F3 is calling you. If you choose "search selection when triggering the shortcut" in Deskbar Preferences, everything is even easier than before.
