Hi, At school I have my .fvmrc2 file in which I have these kind of lines: exec xterm -sl 2048 -ls -bg \#`printf '%02x%02x%02x' $((RANDOM% 31+224)) $((RANDOM%31+224)) $((RANDOM%31+224))` -e ssh remote.host.com
to get an xterm windows at remote.host.com. The random light colored background is obtained with \#`printf '%02x%02x%02x' $((RANDOM% 31+224)) $((RANDOM%31+224)) $((RANDOM%31+224))` I was wondering, how do I get the same thing in gnome at my home machine running Debian Testing (2.6.12 kernel). I tried to make a custom application launcher on the panel but the command to get random background doesn't work. Any ideas what I should do instead? thanks, ->HS -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
