Hi, Currently I am playing aroung with fluxbox. The previously missing feature of a keyboard useable applikation menu is nearly "fixed" :) I also installed fbpanel -- what I miss are the two mini-graphs of the IceWM-Taskbar, which shows CPU load and net traffic throughput. Can I get this anywhere in a way that it is incorparated into fbpanel? mcc -- Please don't send me any Word- or Powerpoint-Attachments unless it's absolutely neccessary. - Send simply Text.
