I don't know if there's one dockcable for WindowMaker but there are a number of apps available that will keep pop up a stock ticker for you. Go to freshmeat.net and do a search on stock - something is bound to pop up. Just tried this - you get a lot of goo, but 2 or 3 real stock thingies. > Got to check out that site!

My xdm login is the Beastie standing on a bluff overlooking a desert landscape (see http://www.freebsdmall.com/advocacy/images/daemon1-HQ-640x480.jpg) for a small version - bigger versions are available there. This image is also available as a splash image (if you're running 3.0 or greater): http://www.baldwin.cx/splash/ Also, if you use Window Maker there's a FreeBSD theme w/ that image as the background: http://wm.themes.org/minithemes.cgi?search=FreeBSD The bars and such are too bright for my tastes, but that's easy to change w/ The Gimp. :-) > Is there a way of toggling that ``keep on top'' > off as well? Not w/ a key shortcut - you can always go click on the attribute button again to change it. Not quite as fast but.... I'm sure there's a way to do it w/ a key shortcut but I wouldn't know how.
