I'd very much like to try this - we whipped up a small silly perl script
which was dubbed Sauron to "keep an eye on hobbit."  It's just a desktop
widget that reflects the color of the main status page.  Same reason;
easier to notice the colored eye sitting there, than to be staring at
the webpage and let's not even talk about email ,-).
I'm running linux on my laptop.  I have 8 different desktops and when you have a webpage open on a desktop, the taskbar shows the favicon for that webpage.  So when I have hobbit running on a desktop I always see the hobbit status in myu webpage.  (It's easier to see in a screen shot then to explain it, just runs linux and you will see ;) ).
