+      LXTask is a lightweight task manager derived from xfce4 task manager
+      with all xfce4 dependencies removed, some bugs fixed, and some
+      improvement of UI. Although being part of LXDE, the Lightweight X11
+      Desktop Environment, it's totally desktop independent and only
+      requires pure gtk+.
