I've never used gnome so I don't know how you get something in the notification area. For the database side, have you considered remind? Yes its texed-based but you may be able to pipe it to the notification area. Or, even though you don't have a palm, what about the pilot series of software (seems to be one for each DTE). It will do popups and such. However, all I use it for is backing up my palm. Since palms start at only about $50 CDN, they have the advantage of beeping at _you_ not the computer workstation. Handy if you're not there but your palm is near, well, your palm. Good luck. Doug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
