I didn't send anything additional excepting what I stated before.

It's only a signature that holds no significance whatsoever. It wasn't directed at you or anyone else. It gets added at random out of a list of such things. Just like the one at the end of this post (which I haven't taken the time to read yet). Take a look again at what I've written. I got chbg on freshmeat and compiled it. I also had to set the backgrounds in KDE and Gnome to "None" or they controlled the process and wouldn't let chbg do its thing. Now, you're welcome to take this personally. Or not. Granted, it may be a bit intimidating to have to go through tons of documents to find answers. But many, including me, won't just hand you the answers you seek without first wanting you to show that you're serious about using linux. Something as simple as this will usually get something. Things that are more involved may not. Generally all that some like me ask is that you do some of the work. We (I) won't just hand you the answers outright or you'll never learn anything. If not learning anything is what you want, there are platforms suited to those purposes. Linux isn't one of them. However, if you show an inclination toward trying to figure out how to do things on your own, and you find yourself stumped or unable to locate suitable documentation, we'll (I'll) bend over backward to help. Lack of time is a suitable excuse. But it won't always work, especially if it appears to be overused. I don't know what you do for a living. But I have a full time job, have a 4-year-old while I'm at the ripe old age of 50, and have numerous responsibilities in both my personal and professional lives. I still find time in all of that to seek answers to problems and to learn. If I didn't or couldn't, I'd use something other than linux. -- Therapy is expensive, popping bubble wrap is cheap.
