An appropriate description would be: Synapse is the launcher for your recently used files/folders/applications while Gnome-Do is the launcher for any file/folder/application. Read More... (HowTos)

Hi guys,Small problem. I installed Synapse from the AUR and I don't want to see the icon in the notification area. But if I make the change in the Synapse preference it switches back to default settings the next time the program starts. Is there a config file for Synapse that I can edit?

I want to solve this problem and thought about trying activity-log-manager to edit Zeitgeist log (or something like that, if I use the right terms).

I have Zeitgeist 0.9.5 installed and Synaptic allows installing activity-log-manager v. 0.9.4. I have installed it. It is visible in main menu, in usr/bin/ as well as in /usr/share/applications/, also the Launcher Synapse sees it.

We have been working on Unity much lately, but we cant forget our favourite DE – Gnome. Speaking of Gnome, we would like to present you a cool application menu for your Ubuntu desktops – Cardapio. This app-menu is really light, cool, usable and makes things straight forward.

I installed alacarte and used that to try and add an application launcher for Sublime Text, but I got an error half way through. Now I've got a launcher in my menu that links to a non existent file, without an icon. It doesn't show up in alacarte, and I searched in /usr/share/applications and it doesn't show up there. I cannot find any reference to it on my computer, yet still it's there.

Developed as part of KDE4 was Nepomuk to handle meta data of all kinds on the desktop in a generic fashion regardless of file type as a step towards a semantic desktop. While Nepomuk continues to advance, the KDE developers are now collaborating with GNOME developers to bring Zeitgeist to the KDE desktop too.
