RISC OS for Linux: New features from taskmanager to anti-aliasing

• There's a new task-manager-like thing that shows processes running and memory consumed.
  
• Edit and Archive have both been rewritten in python and are much nicer to use. Writing simple ROX applications that support drag-and-drop should now be extremely easy...
  
• On the filer front, the current CVS version can generate thumbnails for a wide range of image formats (gif, png, jpg, bmp, etc) and display them instead of the normal icon.
  
• The new version of XFree86 (the graphics system on Linux) now supports anti-aliased fonts (a big sticking point for many ex-RISC OS users, understandably). (Thomas can't take any credit for this one though ;)
