Playing with Fedora Core 8, I noticed an icon for Mugshot.org. It turns out to be a web 2.0 aggregator style website which can link into flickr, facebook, last.fm, etc… It also provides a downloadable user application (for linux, mac, windows) that is basically an update notifier. Annoyingly there doesn’t seem to be any way to kill the windows variant of this without manually killing the process.
If you are wondering how to include external RSS feeds, create a private group and add the RSS feeds to that.

Their “mini-mugshot” widget HTML seems to get mangled by wordpress, so the above link is the best you’ll get.
Update: I’ve found out how to quit the windows client from a very helpful Red Hat employee:
You should be able to get a menu with a quit option by clicking on the icon while holding down the control key. (I say “should” because I don’t have a windows system here at the moment to test.)
Once you do this, the client will not auto-start, and you’ll have to run it again from the menu.

(The reason that the quit option is hidden is, as I recall, that it was quite easy to accidentally quit in earlier versions of our application, and we wanted to avoid that. With the current version, there is no real reason we couldn’t move Quit to a more-normal right-click menu.)
