Software or tools you miss and can't install?

There are some tools I miss that makes me much more productive. Unfortunately its not advisable to install them on Crunchbang. Please list things you miss and love but cant install them even if they are in the repos because of the bulk of pakages they bring with them being that they are from a different platform. For me it's :

-Yakuake
-Korganizer

Dont get me wrong I love these two tools but dont want the bulk of KDE dependencies so I dont install them. Feel free to post what you think and share your own pakage dilemas...
If Yakuake didn't have so many KDE based dependencies I would love to use it. It was the only thing that kept me on KDE sometime back.

Try Guake or Tilda. I have the perfect suite of applications on my install, I wouldn't change a thing.

I tried em both but they dont seem to do it for me. Tilda was pretty glitchy last time I tried it. Guake I did try sometime back.. no dice except they have improved now...:(

I think it is gnome terminal that has a plugin that allows you to search google for anything selected. 

I really liked that one and miss it.

You can always join the cool gang and switch to urxvt or xterm.

I recently did. It's really a joke once you find out that all you have to do is put the settings into .Xresources. All the perl extension stuff is very very optional.

I don't use any of it either. xterm has the nice Ctrl+right click context menu for setting as well.
