I installed the wmeyes.  It works.  But I didn't see a way of customizing the 
size or position of the eyes.

I installed the "X.Org X11 applications" to get xeyes.  It works.  I can 
customize the position, the size, and the colors of the eyes.  This is the 
solution I'm going with.  To make the eyes show up and work automatically when 
I log in, I added the line:

/usr/bin/xeyes &


to my ".bash_profile" twice.  Each line has different options so each monitor 
has a pair of eyes.  One pair would be adequate; two pair is just a personal 
preference.

Now if only I could make the eyes look blood-shot!  :)


Thank-you for your help: Murph, Ed, Ranjan, and Reindl.
Bill.
