Mike,

Got you latest.....still very nice.  I tried it in the highest resolution
screen and had a clock and a shell running in the same window.  If the screen
flicker wasn't there, this would be a very usable configuration.

A couple observations:  When you start the clock and then flip through windows,
you get a window with just Desktop on it and then the next window has Desktop
AND the clock.  This seems to be a problem with software othe people have
written too....window flipping can cause you to loose things.  Also notice that
the mouse can disappear when flipping too.  Again, not a fault with your
program I think, but rather the window software.

Selecting ATTR does nothing than blink up a window.  Are you going to add this
in or are you waiting for me?  I thought you said you would do it.

Glcock is rather simple.  I know I am being picky, but I would be a little
annoyed if I payed money for this and got that simple little clock and no alarm
features.  I am guessing that this is a simple first version and not the final
one.

You can't delete a directory from within Desktop.  I can make one, bnut
errr...but clicking on it jst opens it and I cna't do anything else except GET
INFO.  Sheeesh...last sentance was a typing disaster!

There were some other things I wanted to mention, but can't remember now. I'll
let you know after playing with it some more.  I'm ***REALLY*** looking forward
to the "click on a text file to load into the editor" feature.  This will make
Desktop something useful instead of a "neat-o whiz-bang" super demo.

Mark
