+    <p>
+     gDesklets provides an advanced architecture for desktop applets -
+     tiny displays that sit on your desktop such as status meters, icon
+     bars, weather sensors, news tickers.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+     gDesklets is a system for bringing mini programs (desklets), such as
+     weather forecasts, news tickers, system information displays, or music
+     player controls, onto your desktop, where they are sitting there in a
+     symbiotic relationship of eye candy and usefulness. The possibilities are
+     really endless and they are always there to serve you whenever you need
+     them, just one key-press away. The system is not restricted to one desktop
+     environment, but currently works on most of the modern Unix desktops
+     (including GNOME, KDE, Xfce).
