Twitter Client

I tried Twitux but I didn't like it. So instead, when I have the time, I'll write a PyGTK client using the python-twyt wrapper. Of course I'll probably do this after I work on Parcellite, which I've been neglecting lately.

Anyone know any twitter clients besides Twitux?

Edit: I designed a GUI in glade I am happy with and instead picked the python-twitter wrapper. After I finish Parcellite v0.8 I will work more on it. Also, I'm calling it Nitwit :)

Xcompmgr

I wanted to compile my own xcompmgr, so I fetched it from its git repo:

git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/app/xcompmgr


Compiled it and ran it using these options:

xcompmgr -cC -t-3 -l-5 -r5


And this was the result:



There's a problem though. Because of a security update to X.org, xcompmgr causes terrible slowdown with terminals (gnome-terminal, urxvt, etc) and there appears to be no workaround at the moment.
