An X Window System Question

[Chris Fuhrman]

Several years ago, when I was taking a Self-Study course in UNIX, the 
Graduate Teaching Assistant who oversaw the class said that one of his 
buddies had a problem trying to find his mouse cursor on a 21" display 
screen.  The solution was to use a program called xeyes (which puts a pair 
of eyes on your screen that follow your mouse).

Put each of these in a corner of your screen and you can use them to track 
your mouse.  

Suggestion for the xfce4 developers:  Why not add a module in the panel 
with some xeyes in it?  If you want to be fancy, there's a WindowMaker 
app that puts a South Park character in the dock. *g*
