Gucharmap is also a nice bit of eye-candy (looks like OS X's character map application).=20 Rhythmbox is a nice GNOME 2 MP3/Ogg player built on gstreamer. Whatever you do, stay away from gnomesystemmonitor (doesn't work really well with FreeBSD [yet]). I hear the GKrellM stuff is good. The wireless applet in GNOME 2 works on FreeBSD as does net/netspeed_applet. Epiphany, Galeon, and Mozilla-Firebird look nice on FreeBSD. Gimp-devel is the GTK 2 version of Gimp, and it looks very nice. I would also show off MrProject as a nice prihect management tool with a gantt interface. Totem plays video streams and DVDs nicely.=20 Evolution is working, and makes for a nice demo. I would also show off news/pan2 if you get a chance. It's been praised as one of the best looking and feeling GUIs out there. Also, deskutils/gdeskcal is nothing but eye candy (too bad gDesklets aren't ported yet :-(). Gaim is a nice functional app on FreeBSD, and also adds a little notification area icon. If you can, showing off gnomemeeting would be cool, too. =20 Maybe some of the other FreeBSD GNOME users have some better or more specific ideas. Let me know if you need help configuring, building, or setting up any of the GNOME stuff.
