It was a gconf edit, of course; moving files would have been a crude dirty hack; this was just a dirty hack. I've still gotta update my website with a download section, and put my gpsd-clients package up, and then I'm gonna finish my uber-color bootmenu and show you up for real...

The python applets don't have a noticeable effect; they do nothing unless the display is on and the home screen is showing. (Which is how all good applets should behave...) Under high CPU load, sometimes you'll see them all say "Refreshing..." or something like that when you switch to the home screen, but usually you don't even see that. Khertan did an excellent job with them.
