I din't find anything, but I'll try again.




In the meantime I upgraded my desktop:

Doesn't conky show a widget on the desktop? I want that on a panel.

So I ended up using xfce4-genmon-plugin, instead.




Now one more question:

I can't quite cope with the deafult themes (Clearlooks which I was using 
previously, now has changed in some way), so I downloaded some extra 
ones and I'm trying to install them.
However, when I press "+ Add" in xfce4-appearance-settings and choose 
the tarball, it tries to create a temporary directory in / (e.g. 
"mktemp: mkdtemp failed on /tmp.G9yLe4V3: Permission denied").
Is this normal???
Is it a bug? Or am I trying to do things the wrong way?

  bye & Thanks
