I just noticed I didn't reply to everything. Sorry about that. (I didn't get much sleep last night)
I've added the missed replies inline.

The "kuake" plugin included as part of any urxvt (rxvt-unicode) build which enabled the Perl plugin API at compile time. It's a simple little perl script that uses urxvt's plugin API to set up a borderless terminal window positioned top-center on your screen and binds a hotkey to hide/show it so you can run it on login and leave it around. When your panel freezes, that's probably the simplest way to run a restart script and urxvt is the lightest way you'll get that to work. (It competes with xterm for users. Both urxvt and xterm are lighter than lxterminal and provide a more featureful terminal emulation but you have to customize them by hand-editing ~/.Xresources and the config docs are archaic) > Thank you, > nomnex > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Keep Your Developer Skills Current with LearnDevNow!
