Sounds nice. But i don't want kdelibs on my system. I use wmii-3. It is highly configurable, so hopefully i am able to make a script that can do this job with any x terminal. And if you use xcompmgr and transset-df you can make the terminal transparent. A twenty line bash script is a bit faster as kdelibs. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFEaskPBbWbHb9PeLsRAui0AJ9auymj/vvLm/e1icJGxWgI/xdJsQCghUKJ OjmtCKyBrxkBkiUx0wuT9JE= =iVda -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
