Re: [newbie] xfishtank
Thanks! Is there anything else out there like xfish that will work with KDE?

XFishtank paints the root window - KDE doesn't like programs painting the root window, so it's not going to work properly under KDE, but will work under something like WindowMaker, Enlightenment, AfterStep, XFCE - and similar window managers.
