Since it runs under VMware, I need to use the VMware toolbox for things like the shared mouse and clipboard functions to work correctly in Gnome. Unfortunately the toolbox runs as an app and gets in the way of tests. On Linux clients I use http://kdocker.sourceforge.net/ to automatically push the toolbox into the taskbar notfication area. I've tried compiling this under FreeBSD, but I've failed miserably (ended up with massive amounts of unneeded KDE stuff and even then kdocker was still reporting memory problems). I'm obviously not savvy enough with FreeBSD to figure out all the problems, so rather than bludgeon this more I figured I'd try to get somebody who knows what they are doing to port it over. Alternative suggestions also welcomed. Thanks -- Eric A. Hall http://www.ehsco.com/ Internet Core Protocols http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/coreprot/
