Dunno. Let's see...

On my six desktops I have:

1) The gimp, Netscape, two consoles, POV-Ray.
2) Another console, Emacs (editing YAMC)
3) Xload, a console running top
4) Netscape mail
5) XIRC, Gaim
6) Nothing.

So only 6 main programs, and maybe about 11 altogether. More if you start to
count things like the panel applet load monitor, asclock, etc.

And no worries that one going down would interfere with the others, yet much
cheaper than NT/2K/XP  ;-)

Looks like LiteStep to me, except I don't remember if the footprint graphic
looked exactly like that or not.
Doesn't look like many programs going.
Hey, what the heck is that 0xdeadbeef part of the command window?

It's the GNOME desktop running on RedHat 7.1 and using Enlightenment for the
window manager. The Enlightenment theme is E-Tech Hydro (those 'pipe' borders
on the windows).

Not too much. When I'm more actively developing, a lot more goes on. Of
course, I'm running at least that much constantly for months at a time... so
that's another factor.

"What the H*** is deadbeef?! Or lstat64.c?"

Basically when WINE hits a load of something it doesn't have implemented yet,
it sets it to that value. Later, if it is ever called it will blow up.

Figured it might not actually be LiteStep, I was thinking of one of the
themes for it to emulate the look of Gnome I guess.

Oh.  I see now, sorta.
Might be one of the fears non-programmer POV users envision their quaint POV
program might start giving as errors someday if the source code gets wacky.
;-)
Wasn't this brought up before? Deja vu.

Windows has always had that, in a way...  just needs a graphic to show that
happening instead of the boring BSOD.
