Hi Mark,

I guess I shall go ahead and build a Java based application once I am 
done with my exam :-) ... Given that Java 6 now allows me to place items 
in the sys-tray, it should be a fairly trivial task :-) ... Atleast, I 
do not have to see statements as mentioned on DASC's site ... this 
doesn't work, will be fixed later, etc.

On a side note, looks like my yum configuration is messed up, I do not 
see kalarm... which is strange... I have the Fedora and Livna 
repositories enabled.

later,
Rogue
