I use Gnome (mostly) and KDE (rarely). I'm not familiar with
Mate; I don't know what a "panel meny" is. But no, you don't need to
reboot.
If you have the xorg-x11-apps RPM installed, on Mate you can right-click
on the panel, select "Add to panel", then scroll down and select
"Eyes".
It'll add the eyes to the panel where ever you had right-clicked. You
can move it around if you wish by right-clicking on the eyes icon and
selecting "Move".
Personally, I don't use them. They're sort of, uhm, well, "creepy". :-)
Regardless of which user name I log in as, I launch xeyes from
".bash_profile", and put it into the background. This way, the xeyes process
and display is associated with the login and root window (is that the correct term?)
rather than any regular window or process. The xeyes remain until I log off. I have a
dual monitor system, so I actually launch two xeyes: one on each monitor. Here are the
".bash_profile" lines I use:
---------------
/usr/bin/xeyes -geometry 300x300+2259+0 -fg black -center pink -outline black &
/usr/bin/xeyes -geometry 300x300+2560+0 -fg white -center black -outline red &
---------------
The first puts an xeyes in the upper right corner of the left monitor; the second puts an
xeyes in the upper left corner of the right monitor. Both xeyes follow the cursor no
matter which monitor it's on. You can launch as few or many xeyes as you want, and
put them where ever you want. Type the command "xeyes ?" for more information
on command line parameters and options.
I hope that helps.
Bill.
