This application shows a text field in the GNOME Panel where the user can enter a conjugated verb and obtain its complete conjugation.

The knowledge base is represented in XML and contains over 7000 French verbs. It also contains about 190 Italian verbs. The dialog allows selecting the language in which the verb is to be searched.
