I dont want it to cover the toolbar. Third is if > anyone uses root-tail could you post what options you use when you > load root-tail? read it's manpage for a full list of options and whatnot. it's default position is to be in the top left, but you can change this with some experimentation. it's a little difficult to get it set to where you want it, but once you figure out what you're doing, it's a piece of cake. you can change the font size even more easily. anyway, read its docu. it's very straightforward and covers all your questions in detail. also to note: it doesn't cover the toolbar. afaik, it always stays behind everything. - erk!
