gTwitter is a simple GTK+ based desktop Twitter application for Linux. With gTwitter you have all the basics - the ability to update and receive updates from your friends. You can also choose whether you want to see your complete list of updates in your window or just a timeline showing names & dates. gTwitter may not automatically add itself to the start menu, but you can fix that by selecting System/Preferences/Main Menu and adding a shortcut to gTwitter.
