> It would be nice if the program "top" could be used as background. root-tail is your friend. There are other tools aswell, like conky. Here is a glimpse of a command to get you started with root-tail: top -b -u $UID | root-tail --id $(xprop --root XFCE_DESKTOP_WINDOW|cut -d\ -f5) As you can see the only tricky part is the id of the xfdesktop window. You can of course replace top with a ps output and so on. Btw, if the lines are too long you can cut them through a pipe like with cut -c 1-60 for instance. Enjoy the root-tail manual. As to conclude, this is not a request for xfdesktop IMHO. > Thank you for your fine work! Matthias Krüger HTH, mike -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
