GRaphics Over Miscellaneous Objects (Gromit)

Gromit GRaphics Over MIscellaneous Things is a small tool to make annotations on the screen.

When making presentations of the Gimp I found myself often moving the mousepointer around the point of interest until hopefully everybody noticed it. This annoyed me, since it is a very vague way to highlight something. I dreamt of a small programm which allows me to simply draw on the screen, ignoring any window-borders.
