stopwatch and mint menu for Mate and Xfce

[k357k9]

I have been testing S11 MATE & XFCE and am looking for some S/W similar to :

1) stopwatch : a simple timer program for tracking tasks. The best so far seems to be kapow, but it is overkill.

2) mint menu : a menu with favorites and a search bar that can be added to the standard menu.

I also noticed that MATE comes with a lot less S/W. Is there some reason for that?

I'm afraid I can't answer your questions but you will have more success with a more descriptive title.

Thanks for your suggestion. I was beginning to think I was invisible , but will make a change.

Maybe you should choose a more … speaking heading like "stopwatch and mint menu for Mate and Xfce".

You can query alternativeto.net, but it's not DE-dependent.

I guess, it shall be save space Some guys (like me) still burn ISO-CDs ...

@Ryuno-Ki
Danke.
That is a very nice site, but I think I am looking for something that doesn't exist.
And, I still burn CDs & DVDs, too.

There's a stopwatch plugin for Xfce, but not in entropy or portage However, the last release is four years old.
You may want to specify, what features do you expect.

2) mint menu : a menu with favorites and a search bar that can be added to the standard menu.

Another attempt concerning 2):
You can customize your menu in Xfce. A LXMenuEditor build from from 15th May 2012 is in the repos.
Linelight is a search bar plugin. You'll find v0.1.7 in the repos.

Note: I assume you want programs for Mate or Xfce.
