Karamba like desktop widgets?

Hi, does anyone know of some desktop widget utils like superkaramba that will work on xfce without too much hassle?

I have used SuperKaramba but I prefer xfdesktop to kdesktop so I'm looking for alts.
I also tried installing screenlets but there were too many gnome deps (I'm running slackware 12.1)

Cheers

Re: Karamba like desktop widgets?

Haha, screenlets looks good but your right... too much GNOME crap.  There are several alternatives...

google-gadgets (http://code.google.com/p/google-gadgets-for-linux/) pretty nifty and has lots of some what useful things to throw on the desktop

adesklets (http://adesklets.sf.net/) has some useful system monitor and other misc desklets and doesn't a ton of deps

Sure there are more, but those 2 stick out in my head
