fceu - may be launched from the command line. may have to install xterm
gaim - dont know. try pidgin
osso status bar - you have to enable it in system preferences
package updates - check the log. you may have a defunct/typo'd entry in the repo list, or one may be timing out

fceu - i have xterm installed but im not up to date on commands and using it yet!

will try pidgin!

just found the osso status bar in system and selected to have both memory and cpu shown, but no icon has appeared and no applet is selecteable in applets

package updates - how do i access the log/repo list thru xterm?

cheers

You have to also enable the graph plug in in the status bar tab of navigation (also found in the control panel).
