It can. Nobody has sent a patch yet (hint hint). Doing some <.1 sec work every 30 sec isn't that bad, so instead of a cooked up a hack, a completely managed (c#) solution would be wonderful. With the managed dbus bindings looking better these days, someday this will happen. - dBera -- ----------------------------------------------------- Debajyoti Bera @ http://dtecht.blogspot.com beagle / KDE fan Mandriva / Inspiron-1100 user _______________________________________________ Dashboard-hackers mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dashboard-hackers
