I haven't yet in this case, but I will, yes. Any two pair of eyes
will indicate an intersection of their lines of sight, but redundancy is
often convenient, especially if the cursor has snuck off into the tuley-
weeds.

I am indeed saying exactly that, alas!, yes.
An earlier post by "home user via users" says "The executable
will be "/usr/bin/xeyes." Using that as a command (by root) does create
one pair of eyes, but they don't make it onto the panel meny. Do I just
need to reboot? I will in a little while, anyway.
