The rpm is:
deskbar-applet-2.14.0-2.fc5

rpm -q --info deskbar-applet
...
http://live.gnome.org/DeskbarApplet
Summary : A Gnome applet to allow easy access to various search engines
Description :
The goal of DeskbarApplet is to provide an omnipresent versatile search
interface. By typing search terms into the deskbar entry in your panel
you are presented with the search results as you type.

Seaches are handled by a series of plugins. DeskbarApplet provides a 
simple interface to manage these plugins to provide you with the search 
results that fit your needs.

Right click, add to panel. Type your search information and A GUI'n you go!

Regarding the fast switching, Type gdmf in the deskbar applet and 
gdmflexiserver should be the item that is found. This is the command 
which launches another X server.

I tried the flexiserver before sending the posting. It works.
