Have you tried "conky"? Here's some screenshots with related ".conkyrc" files: http://conky.sourceforge.net/screenshots.html It's in the Main (Contrib) repo. -- Zounds!

But that does not solve the issue with gkrellm and NVidea. Understood.

I'm having the same problem and I'm tired of switching back and forth between 11.2 and 11.3. I uninstalled the xorg-x11-driver-video-nouveau package and it seamed to be okay for a while, but next day the same thing. I came back to 11.3 last night and ran glxgears overnight and it was still okay this morning. Now it's doing the same thing again. Very distracting. One more thing, I did add nomodeset to the kernel line in menu.lst and it doesn't seam to have made any difference.
