he :-) I actually /like/ gkrellm, been using it for years. On KDE too. See screenshot. I keep it narrow (60 pixels) and with 1920x1080 I can afford that. I use virtualbox extensively and when I fire up all 12 VMs I have currently, I find gkrellm is the only thing that really shows me activity the way I want it. Horses for courses I guess :-) Never really groked CDE though. Lilac just ain't my hting -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com
