I can sympathize with your problem, but I don't run anything from the root window, including xdaliclock. I start xfce, then place everything I want on a desktop, including xdaliclock and leaving space for it on the other desktops, then I make xdaliclock sticky. Once it's setup, it's self replenishing. I also force the top margin to be 30 to leave room for the taskbar. Everything honors that except for galeon and mozilla. They insist on starting at 0 0, so I have to drag them down, if I need to see the titlebar. Works like a champ for me, but YMMV. -- Collins Richey - Denver Area - WWTLRD? gentoo(since 01/01/01) 2.4.18+(ext3) xfce-sylpheed-mozilla _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list - http://linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Archives,and Digests are located at the above URL.
