-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi,
I have GKrellM [1] open all the time, in fact two copies when I'm online (one from another machine). I'd like to have it always visible, but don't want to set it always on top as it would obscure a fairly large region of other windows, especially when I have two of them. I currently use the kicker extension "Dock Application Bar" on the right-hand edge of the screen, which sets a "strut" in the window manager so maximised windows will stay off that edge of the screen, where I can then put GKrellM. This works very well except a few brain damaged apps, notably most Java Swing apps I've seen so far, seem to set themselves dockable and thus try and squeeze themselves into a square on this docking bar. And so (finally, sorry this is so long) to my questions: is there a better way to do this? Some other means of setting a strut, beyond coding something specially for the purpose? I would be prepared to write something; would anyone else here find a plain "strut" kicker extension or app useful? Or (before someone else says it) do you all think I should just not maximise windows and go get a life? =) [1] GKrellM is basically a column-shaped system monitor with plugins to do a _lot_ of other stuff, see http://gkrellm.net/ - -- Chris Boyle - Winchester College - http://archives.wincoll.ac.uk/ ICQ: 24151961 - PGP: http://archives.wincoll.ac.uk/finger.php?q=chrisb -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE7HPsRD834tscfhTwRAqJ7AKCTv2eUoPqnHa/yPpgvmKLv6iZqXQCcD1Qv JhnAOHkDuh6as8CgkLiCpNg= =6STr -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
