If (for some reason) it's not in the middle of the screen, it can be hard to spot; I'd like for it to blink a few times when I first give the xterm focus (yes, it's more or less full screen, and yes, I have multiple screens, so I've completely lost track of where in the window I was when I turn back to it). -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
