yossarian Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 If you are using, Gnome, you should take a look at gDesklets (also available in the repos, I recommend to install it from there): http://www.gdesklets.de/index.php?q=deskle...wse/category/31 For KDE there is SuperKaramba doing the same thing (also in the repos): http://netdragon.sourceforge.net/ssuperkaramba.html Another option is asking your wife what's the time every 5 minutes. Pick your choice, and good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yossarian Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 btw anyone know if gdesklets can be auto started at boot? Go to System -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Sessions On the Startup Programs tab click the Add button Under name and command type "gdesklets" Voila!
