Hi Brian
Yes there are many ways to run an EMC display under X or one of the desktops. When I imagined the mini interface it was intended to be able to run directly under X so I had to add in features like editing and such. It also had to have the ability to run as a single, all inclusive display. You've probably noticed that with tkemc it's possible to get what appears to be a lockup if one of the message displays gets hidden behind the main screen. The editors in both tkemc and mini are rather limited. If you are running Gnome then Gedit is probably a better choice -- if KDE then Kate can easily handle the tasks. Both have highlighting that can be setup for g-code. There is an additional issue here and that is my USB stick. It's really nice to have a file browser pop up as soon as the stick is recognized. I don't know how you'd handle this with a stand alone EMC HMI.
