I don't see this on freshmeat or the gnome software map. What and
where is it?

Oooooh! It's a much better place for it that I had thought of. Yes!
"Show the command line for this" would be a nice addition, too, both
for people who feel the urge to move from point-and-miss (er, click) 
to the command line, and for people who just wonder "what the heck is
that program?" (as per "About myself" being userinfo and "System info"
being guname or something).

It does indeed. Much simpler than my idea. I like this a lot.
