They watch :)
No, there's no other purpose. I have at least one instance of XEyes on
my desktop since I found this little application in 1992 when I first
started using a Sun workstation. But it is since some months only that I
had the idea to have multiple ones. Well, that's the nice thing about
plasmids, they stay behind application windows, so the do not get in the
way.
I gave the little worm looking thing a try once. I wasn't much on the
eyes thing. I guess I don't like someone looking over my shoulder and
watching me. lol
I like KDE to. I just don't take much time learning all the stuff like
I should.
I learnt a lot on the KDE mailing list (which is also a nice one, with
helpful people). Especially about this Akonadi stuff that the new KDEPIM
is using.
I subscribe there too. I just get to a point where things work and I
tend to leave well enough alone. :/
For me, desktop 1: Seamonkey browser
desktop 2: Seamonkey email
desktop 3: Konsole with at least two tabs
desktop 5: Konqueror as root
Why this?
I use Konqueror for all sorts of things. I mostly use it to edit config
files or something like that. I don't like Dolphin to much. It's OK
but just not for me. Maybe one day.
I got the
local radar thing loaded up and it uses a good bit. We are expecting
some storms here today. Since they are coming from my blind side, I
watch the radar so I don't get wet. lol
Is this a plasmoid? This would be a nice one to have.
It runs on a tab on Seamonkey. It my local radar from weather.gov.
How do you tell KDE that you want a widget thingy on one desktop and not
all of them? I figured out how to get one that I saw on your screenshot
but it put it on them all. I only want it on one tho. I can't seem to
find the magic button.
Like Yohan said :)
Though I'd like if plasmoids could also be made sticky, on desktops
and/or activities. Maybe they'll implement this, I think this is on the
list. Or does 4.7 already have this feature?

I tried that but it messed up my slideshow background. I guess I would
have to set it up for each desktop. I'll just keep using Gkrellm I
guess. It works pretty well.
I have not tried the activities thing yet. I don't really know much
about it. I need to find a howto on KDE that is up to date.
