Just a quick note to tell you there is a new version of the list available which integrates in all the suggested changes I received via comments to the last blog post on this. Thanks to everybody who responded.

Trying to go more or less in order from top to bottom: To cut wav files (B-13) you can use shntool (http://shnutils.freeshell.org/shntool/) at commandline. KDE also provide ksnapshot for Screen Shots (C-1) (and has configurable keybindings -- I forgot the default though). Kopete (http://kopete.kde.org) has an experimental support for Google Talk (D-5) audio calls, chat works as it's Jabber. KDevelop (F-1) should have a K icon beside, as well as Filelight (G-7) If K-3 can be extended to "your browser" rather than Firefox, Konqueror (KDE) allows you to do it from the bookmark editor: File, Export, Export to HTML bookmarks. For K-5, KDE also have an XML-proper editor (http://kxmleditor.sourceforge.net). K-9, KMail should have a K icon, not a cli icon. M-26: kima (http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=33257) also is good for KDE. N-7: KDE has KOrganizer/Kontact (kde suite) Q-1 and Q-4: K9Copy for KDE (http://k9copy.free.fr/). Q-9: mplayer, xine and frontends (like Kaffeine http://kaffeine.sourceforge.net/ for KDE). Yes, I know most of these options are KDE specific.. it's just my field of interest and what I daily use and maintain for Gentoo ;) And all of this is software that works on any Unix-like system, so not limited to Linux (something I care about as I also work with FreeBSD -- not yet Solaris, but maybe, one day). Hope this help! :)

Huh? No abiword? http://www.abisource.com I hope you can find a place for it in the next version list. File-Roller may be the default zip archiver in Gnome but I quite like Xarchiver. Xarchiver is an archive manager written for XFCE using GTK and fits quite nicely in any Gnome desktop too. http://xarchiver.xfce.org/

The burning of CD's application Brasero is a GTK application, so is Serpentine. Also I can suggest mpg123, a cli application for playing all mp3s in a directory. To organize my mp3 collection I use quodlibet and it works for me, perfectly. It has a great (in my opinion the best and versatile) tagging tool, called ExFalso.
