Hi, Of course, you can always try to use RTMix which has plenty uses for timers, supplies fully customizable metronome, as well as various visual warnings. It is exactly designed for this purpose, but may be an overkill if your only need is to have a stopwatch. For some screens please see: http://meowing.ccm.uc.edu/~ico/RTMix-doc/7.html#7.3 For more info please see docs: http://meowing.ccm.uc.edu/~ico/RTMix-doc/index.html The app is rather stable and comes with plenty of example scripts but can be also used as the most basic stop-watch with zero-config, it also supports full MIDI I/O as well as controlling of other apps via OSC (i.e. Pd). It is downloadable as a Planet CCRMA rpm (Fedora), Eastman's Turnkey (Mandrake) rpm, as well as source from my website. Hope this helps!
