Hi,

Is there a way to show some webpage's content on my Desktop? (I use GNOME.)

Thanks.

I never tested before but I guess having dynamic html content loaded
inside the desktop it will take (waste?) many CPU cycles.

Well, just as Active Desktop allows it, under Windows. I simply want to
see some data. E.g. at
http://www.irceline.be/~celinair/french/homefr_java.html, I can see `air
quality' in Belgium, and I would like this to be constantly updated (at
a given interval), and shown on my Desktop. I did not find this in the
video you proposed. Do you understand what I mean now? :)

Then better use a widget for that tasks :-)

Or if the site provides raw data, you can fetch it and make your own
script. But having a complete web page embedded on the desktop is
something I find it a bit "overhelming" >:-)

Yes, sure, having a widget would suffice. But is there such a widget out
there? If not so, I might make some script for exploiting raw data. :)

The word ``good'' has many meanings. For example, if a man were to
shoot his grandmother at a range of five hundred yards, I should call
him a good shot, but not necessarily a good man. (G. K. Chesterton)
