on the small depiction of the 4 desktops... is there a way to blink a window, when the window blinks? that sounds confusing even to me... but the squares that are infact the diff windows open in that desktop... can you make that sqaure blink, when there's activity... like a new msg on an IM?

i think rabidvwm can do it, however i've never seen it working... but maybe it's just that i never really cared

I've tried before to get it working, with no luck. I can get rabidvwm's window falshing to work, there's a bang for it, but I can't get it to work the way it's supposed to :p. I asked rabidcow once, and I seem to recall that he said that he didn't really know whether it worked or not.

Ok, I tracked down the problem, and this will work in rabidvwm-1.2.0 when it's released. I don't remember what the deal was when I last fixed that bit, but the core is now sending the flash signal slightly differently from what I had expected.
