build and free flags. So GNOME Desktop News has a great story about a project to build a comprehensive package of world flags in SVG format.

In fact, GKrellM is so popular it may have more plugins than other projects have users. Actually, I think it's not so much that GKrellM has morphed itself into eye-candy so much as that since the very beginning it's been designed as a Swiss Army knife kind of utility.
