[newbie] gkrellm on top
Hi, I have gkrellm set to monitor my email. However, it has an annoying habit of automatically opening the kmail window even if it finds no new mail. I think it opens the kmail window every time it checks. Anyone else have this problem? Also, I like to have gkrellm running and I would like to know if there is setting to keep it on top. tia, Bill W. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

The Kmail issue should be easily resolved by going into the configuration of gKrellm (right click, configuration, etc etc) - have it check the mail, but not to run a command when mail arrives (or when clicked on).

SNIP Hi Tom, I've been meaning to thank you for posting this a while ago, and wanted to let you know that I found a quick work around for not placing the gkrellm notification on the panel. I navigated to /home/acct/.kde/Autostart in Konqueror, right clicked and selected create new link to application, named it gkstart, and on the execute tab under command just copied, and pasted your line above ... /usr/bin/kstart --ontop --alldesktops --skiptaskbar /usr/X11R6/bin/gkrellm And, it works like a champ - thank you for the tip.
