I don't know if this will appeal to you or even work for you, but I use ion3, which supports the URGENT hint. When a window sets the URGENT hint, ion3 changes the color of its title bar and puts an alert on every workspace. rxvt-unicode is a terminal emulator that among other things can be made to set the URGENT hint when the keyboard bell is rung. Setting screen to use an audible bell and causing your application to ring the bell on various events gives you notifications of those events through the window manager. I use this with irssi (running bitlbee and not), mutt, etc etc, and couldn't be happier. Having no experience with ratpoison, I don't know if you'd be able to get that information into ratpoison's message bar. I suppose you could write a script or tool that waits forever for URGENT-hinted windows, and then gets information about them and pushes that into the message bar. hth, --Phil -- Phil Snowberger -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Department of Computer Science and Engineering University of Notre Dame
