I stopped using gnome and started using xfce a few months ago. I'll have to check if IceWm and xfce can work together or if I would have to switch to IceWM. After posting and before reading the replies I thought about something colorful that would light up when something was spiking. > > I usually start my browser with an XTerm, so my browser (SeaMonkey) > leaves some helpful error messages.

It's kind of like top where I wouldn't notice it cause it would mostly be under other windows. I may need a bigger monitor. Mine is 24", but I've thought about getting a bigger one. -- Brian Wood Ebenezer Enterprises http://webEbenezer.net -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
