"A desktop full of handy widgets to tell you about what's going on in the world and what's going on around your computer. This is Jackfield. Jackfield is an application for the Gnome desktop that plays host to widgets; small applications to do the things you need. It can run widgets from Apple's Dashboard, will eventually be able to run those from Yahoo's Widget Engine, Microsoft's Gadget Sidebar, and Opera Widgets, and you can write your own."

There are some mildly useful things, but I think they make more sense on your google homepage.
On Linux, so far, the most popular ones have been system monitors and attempts at the OS X dock (you can't do it with this sort of software though).
