Heh - my desktop is boring but highly functional.

The exciting part is a picture of my and my girl as my wallpaper.
The functional part is the menu, taskbar and pager.

gDesklets looks very nice - I may try it out and then post some screenies

Thanks. The network traffic monitoring tool is called 'netspeed', I just apt-get installed it. I believe it's in the ubuntu repositories as well. The CPU/MoBo sensors thing is called 'gnome-sensors-applet'. It's available from http://sensors-applet.sourceforge.net , not as a .deb though. I requested it to be packaged and maybe it some day will be.. It's not hard to install it from source though. Oh, and it uses lm_sensors to read the temperatures/fan speeds, so you have to have that installed and configured.

Controls / Window border are AlphaCube, and the icon theme is Vista Inspirate 1.0. I believe you can find all of them in gnome-look.org

Icons are very nice! I won't comment on window borders. Only thing I don't like is the font that you're using.
