Thanx Alex...that works..
it would be better if i could have something in my panel..i have 
selected the stay on top option...so it stays above other windows i 
cannot have it in the panel..there used to be some kind of notifier in 
fedora3 that stayed in the panel..i really liked that..anyway..this 
solves my problem..
