On 15 Sep, John Looney shouted:
->   Is it possible to tell when a window has been updated by another
->  application ? I was just thinking that it would be nice to have an
->  omnipresent dockapp that you could get to light up, when an application
->  refreshes (netscape downloads, balsa detects a new email).

nup you can't tell.

->   Can it be done ? Or, would it be more something for the desktop software,
->  to have some way that applications could register with the panel, and say
->  "My status is now pending user input", or "My status is now ALERT" ?

already specified in some of the gnome extension ICCCM hints.

->   This would be neat...or has it been done, and discarded as silly ?
->  
->  Kate
