mail check

[Mr. Borje Holmberg]

Ok! Thanks.

It doesn't work, tho. I have both system tray and korn in the panel, but
the check box is still in the upper left corner. Maybe this function you
talked about is in some cvs version.

Thanks any way. I can live with the tiny box up left :-)

I like xfce4 a lot, but I don't use it that much. But I'm trying to
explore it, if it maybe could outdo gnome. Kde is definitely out with
me.

Have a nice day :-)
