I can _launch_ apps easily by constructing menus and keymapping. It's very similar in fluxbox. You are correct in that I am looking for "something like a system tray". You have given me names of modules necessary to meet my ends and for that I now have a better footing or starting point. Every system has it's own idiomatic syntax. The one I'm just beginning to grok is 'swallow'. Do I understand that 'swallow' means to put one object inside of another? With that question answered and the module names, I can procede to "roll my own". :) But I wouldn't reject any further tips ... Thanks, Jaimos -- Tim http://www.akwebsoft.com, http://www.tj49.com
