gnome-characters is a character browser and is part of the core GNOME apps.
All its dependencies are in main. It replaces the older gucharmap that we
continue to ship. gnome-characters has a GUI that fits in with the GNOME
style, while gucharmap has an old fashioned interface.
I found it simpler
gnome-todo is a task manager / note taker and is part of the core GNOME
apps. All its dependencies are in main.
