GoFun is an implementation of the DesktopEntrySpecification found at FreeDesktop.Org. To say it simple, GoFun manages Icons, that represent applications, links and devices.

So GoFun is a desktop itsself and you can use it to start your regularly needed applications and maintaince tasks or to open a CD in a filemanager.

GoFun is more than an application launcher, since it has many multimedia features that make you a more flexible user of the GNU environment.

In fact GoFun could change your view on the GNU desktop, since it gives you the chance to have a personalized and optimized (damn buzzwords) desktop looking sweet and feeling effective.

Here are some key features of "GoFun":
Lightweight (fast startup, low on resources)
Compatible with Freedesktop.org's DesktopEntrySpecification
Cheerful look&feel
App-start in new XServer
Setting of environment variables
Switch user (for example to root)
Build parameter prompts
