A quick run thro' the pkgs listed reveals 5 which seem important :
gle -- for Xscreensaver
libwmf -- for Imagemagick
libidn -- for Mutt Curl Kdelibs
openmotif + motif-config -- for Gvim
There are 6 more which are surely useful, 3 installed here :
e3 -- excellent tiny editor (installed)
ckermit -- powerful tool for accessing remote machines
(I have it installed in /usr/local ,
not having realised there was a Gentoo pkg)
sc -- spreadsheet in a terminal, ie it doesn't need X (IIRC)
nedit -- powerful pgmers' editor popular in some places
yudit -- Unicode editor (installed)
expect -- useful tool for automating interactive tasks
Perhaps you should tell users briefly what proxy-maintenance involves.
PS another thread mentioned Cgoban : this is very useful for Go players.
