Deskbar is an applet which sits in the GNOME panel and which integrates quite seamlessly with different search tools like Beagle and the Google search API to bring the same functionality of OSX's Spotlight to Linux/GNOME. This article explains how one can set up this applet to among other things, provide Google web search on the Linux/GNOME desktop. In related news, this article takes a look at the major new features of... Gedit 2.14. No kidding.

> As a result, all KDE apps support KIO and use it.
I think you're missing what's being said. If your KDE app uses POSIX's fopen() instead of the KDE file open methods, your app won't magically use KIO for file access. You have to do things "the KDE way" to get "the KDE benefit automatically". The same is true with GEdit. They're now doing things "The GNOME way" and as a result get "the GNOME benefit automatically".
