Thank you. I have made use of 3 instances of that app, two ethernet
and one wireless devices..

..and this is the problem, although that's useful, the pause is slow,
but also the nature of popups, means I can't just flick my eyes across
and back - I have to lift a hand to the trackball and move the mouse
etc. Just not going to happen much :)

I may have to rewrite/adapt netspeed at some point for the xfce panel.
Guess I'd be learning a new programming language for that.

Thanks for the pointer though.. appreciated,
Zenaan
