Why not, pray? Its use implies you've already got X11 and all the gunk that goes with it. Xfaces, behemoth though it might be, just sits in the corner and renders pixels. Big deal. Turn off all the rubbish about audio, animation, shaped images and about half a million image formats, and just display what's in your mailbox. It's not as if you need to *interact* with it. steve
