Setup AWN Dock with one-click access to your favorite website
I love using Mozilla Prism and a few other Site Specific Browsers so I can have one-click access to web applications from my desktop. I recently discovered a neat applet for Avant Window Navigator called WebApplet that gives you something similar integrated with your AWN Dock. While WebApplet lacks the tight desktop integration of Prism (especially with the Prism Firefox extension) and takes a bit more configuration magic, it does run alot speedier due to its smaller memory footprint. Check out the (admittedly fast-paced) screencast below for more info on how to set it up. The installation command follows:
sudo apt-get install awn-applets-python-extras awn-applets-c-extras
