I don't use Gnome or KDE (or anything really.) Re. the notification-daemon tip, that's what I'm doing already (via a python script of mine, I didn't know about notify-bin!), but sure it isn't the same. What I might do: Have after-poll dump the number of unread messages into a file, and display that value in my dzen status bar. It might be good enough. Now I'll only do it if my bloody laptop stops crashing on me... I dropped it earlier, I have a very bad feeling about this. Thanks for you help William, Henri
