Nothing To Offer? Ha!

I am finally getting around to exploring the Mandrake 9.2 CDs which I
purchased about 4 months ago.

I remember when Mandrake 9.2 was released, there were no Ximian upgrades
available because - IIRC - it was so up-to-date that Ximian had nothing
to offer to improve it.

However, now that I've installed Mandrake 9.2 I find it sorely lacking
in several areas compared to my older Red Hat 7.2 + Ximian setup.

Where is the "Screen-Shooter" applet that allows me to choose either the
entire desktop or only a single window?  And then automatically names
the resulting file uniquely based upon date/time values?

Where is the "Disc Usage" applet which quickly reveals to me in both
pie-graph format and specific MB values how much space is available on
all of my partitions and drives?

Where is the "CPM/Mem Usage" applet which helps me to know if I've got a
zombie running amok, hogging all my CPU cycles and trying to overflow my
swap?

Where is the "GDict" applet which so conveniently taps into MIT's online
dictionary so that I don't have to fire up Mozilla all the time and wait
for www.m-w.com to more slowly load?

These are a few of my favourite things...which are missing in Mandrake 9.2.

Can I install my previous Red Hat + Ximian RPMs of these applets for use
with Mandrake 9.2?  I think I still have them hanging around somewhere
on a CD-ROM.
