Xarchiver
Xarchiver is a GTK+ 2 frontend for manipulating arj, 7z, zip, rar, tar, bzip2, gzip, and RPM files. It allows you to create archives and add, extract, and delete files from them. Password protected archives in the arj, 7z, rar, and zip formats are supported.

Many many thanks for your kind works. Words like
yours keep on pushing me to improve xarchiver more and more.

Just a big thank-you
I just wanted to say thanks for providing such a great piece of software. I must admit that I do prefer using a GUI rather than the command line for a lot of my day-to-day tasks. Xarchiver really makes things very easy.

Well it's not *that* much different (expect that I wouldn't be able to add yet-another-archiver *really fast* myself being quite off C for quite a few years). I mean, if the goal is "a lightweight GUI archive manager" then this particularity isn't really crucial if it works this way or another and doesn't pose clear and significant problems in the foreseeable future (e.g. shell wrappers *do* need a rewrite to support password protected archives in any sane way).
