I told you that the result could be ugly. I had used something like your command in around 2005 with e17. I couldn't recall why I abandoned it :) > Carsten, is there a way to have legacy apps such as root-tatil work in E17? > Could E17 catch alternations to the X root-window and display them in a way > that > makes E17 happy?

KDE already has since KDE4, gnome-3 will also be like that, not sure about xfce (haven't used it in over 5yrs). I suspect programs like root-tail which draw on the X root window will be quite non-functional in most major DE's in another year or so. As for your solution, conky is definitely the way to go. Or, if you don't want conky, just run tail -f in a terminal,- make it transparent (either fake or true), sticky, and "Pin to desktop". You will lose right click on desktop functionality over the area the terminal is being drawn. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The modern datacenter depends on network connectivity to access resources and provide services.
