It's not working, he's never tested it on 8.04, so it's hardly his fault. I sent an email asking if I had to do something extra to make it start working and got no answer. Also, note that, useful as gnome-watchdog is, it's not in any of the official repos. Given that it's essential, someone official should have adopted it and pulled it into the repos. Todd
