To make gkrellm in windowmaker stick to all of your workspaces right = click on it's title bar and select configuration (or hit F1) There will = be a selection under monitors that is titled General, select that, = There is then a tab on the right that is titled properties, Select that, = and check the check box next to sticky state. This will give you what = you want. You might also want to adjust the width under General> = Options> GKrellM width to match your other docked apps.

I didn't know if I whould ask on the technical list seeing as IMHO this = is a pretty n00b question. See I've got quite an extensive linux background so I figured it can't = be that difficult on freeBSD. I've played around with BSD once or twice = (back in version 3 and 4) but never for very long before giving up and = moving back to SuSE. However, this time I think i got the bull by the horns! I've migrated = all my stuff from linux to BSD (workstation wise) there's just a couple = of outstanding issues. Ie. KDM/GDM needs to work properly, as other = people use my machine for an X server. And i am currently still sorting out mailman with postfix. Which was my = own fault as to why it's not working. However, there are two things that are bugging me. Whenever I leave X, = the console seems to get darker, eventually I can't see it anymore, and = have to reboot to sort the problem out. I feel this could be video card = related - I have a GeForce 4 MX 420 with the latest NVidia drive. And I = have disabled the AGP, ACPI is also disabled otherwise X just hangs. So I was wondering if anyone has any clue as to what this might be? And second I dunno how many of you use gkrellm in windowmaker but, i = can't get it to appear on every work space. This I am sure, is a real = dumb thing on my part because i feel it must be something really simple. Other than that however, everything is going great!=20 Let me know if this is too technical for a newbie list so that I can put = it on the tech list too if need be.
