I'm interested to hear which (if any) programs everyone uses as Calendar and Timetracker (to log how long you spent working on something, and alternatively to tell you when you've been working for a given time)
What i'm looking for in a calendar is something that links a full thing like sunbird (Mozilla's calendar) and a small widget on your desktop (the latter preferably with functionality instead of just being an image. For instance double-clicking on monday would bring me to my full calendar-program, but now i'm just dreaming out loud)
Does anyone have any good suggestions?
Online syncing is always a big plus for calendars, as well.
I've tried sunbird and Rainlendar together, but even when i make them use the same calendar-file, one won't update if i added data in the other, and vice versa.

Then again widgets can only take you so far...
I hope you find what you are looking for, its a freelancer's best friend if you do =D
Thats what I did when I wanted to get faster at modelling - thanks to Pak.
But I am not 100% sure as I am a Gnome user (but thinking about switching to KDE).
Jkm: once i can succesfully replace everything i use in windows i'll start using my kubuntu, but right now it's just for fooling around. Don't even mention the Gimp, either. I had a look at that though, and it did indeed look great. I also really loved katapult (i think), which allowed you to just use a key-combination, and then type the name of a program to launch it. I'm looking into AppRocket, which does the same thing (and more) for windows, but it's pretty heavy on my computer for what it does...
I'm also checking out www.tasktoy.com, www.rememberthemilk.com and voo2do.com right now, and i'll let you know how those work out.
I also tried the notepad F5 and that's pretty cool. I never knew about that!
And telling opensource software devs you want something new is useless as fuck, haha. "Here's a tutorial for low-level python/java/c-programming, have fun!"

Kind of like the request forum here

And yeah, i suppose that's true Vig, for the most part. Cheers for all your suggestions though, everyone.
To continue the software-topic though, shifting it towards linux somewhat:
Is there anything other than the Gimp, that looks like it could become comparable sometime soon? Or illustrator, for that matter (for which inkscape is still frustratingly slow and bothersome to use)
This is really the biggest hurdle for me, together with games, but there's no denying that distros like ubuntu are now a worthy competitor (in ability, not popularity or commercial appeal) for windows, also because most of the supplied software is often very usable right from the start.
Isn't Konfabulator for Mac OS X?

It came out for Windows about 1.5 years back as well. Widgets work the same on either side.
