Does this mean you've added 2 additional panels > to the 2 default ones? You've added panels to the sides? I haven't yet in this case, but I will, yes. Any two pair of eyes will indicate an intersection of their lines of sight, but redundancy is often convenient, especially if the cursor has snuck off into the tuley- weeds. > I am also able to select "Add to panel" in Mate and select from the menu > "eyes" and have "eyes" placed on the panel. Are you saying that > selection doesn't exist for you? I am indeed saying exactly that, alas!, yes. An earlier post by "home user via users" says "The executable will be "/usr/bin/xeyes." Using that as a command (by root) does create one pair of eyes, but they don't make it onto the panel meny. Do I just need to reboot? I will in a little while, anyway. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/message/XQ7P6BXR4KALOPCS6363FYCQUPQL7ST3/
