There are a few I know of: libegg This is part of gnome, but you can use it separately (I think). It's a set of gtk widgets that people have written that seem useful but which haven't settled enough to go into the main gtk distribution yet. I think the name is supposed to suggest incubation: if a libegg widget becomes popular and useful enough, it will eventually get into gtk. For example, the recent files stuff started out in libegg, I think. libsexy A library of extra widgets, seems nice, widely used. gtk-extra Sheet, plot and other widgets. This is now becoming a little old-fashioned (in my opinion), most of their widgets now have equivalents in the main gtk tree. In addition, most gtk applications include a set of their own widgets which you can usually just cut out and keep (license permitting).
