Thanks, I did not know about this tool. Is there a way to add the hover-applet to a KDE 4 panel? Due to other Gnome accessibility issues I cannot use it at the moment. I currently use Kmousetool but it has some serious issues and have been looking to replace it. -- Dotan Cohen http://gibberish.co.il http://what-is-what.com _______________________________________________ gnome-accessibility-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-accessibility-list
