COrrect me if I am wrong (and I am not OOo regular user, so I am may be very well mistaken), but was not timing part of the Impress itself?

Re: Search for a couple of utilities
The fact of running on top of all other applications is just a configuration of the X-Window window the application is running in. Just click on the window configuration button in your clock-application, look for "Advanced" and choose "Keep above others" from the menu. The window will stay on top. But I don't know if openoffice overrules that, but you might try.

I meant that: kdialog --passivepopup "Video status" $TIMEOUT does the same as the call of dcop posted by Isaac Clerencia. Ulrich (I guess I should write a brainfilter to seperate languages...)
