Just for curiosity, why? Is it so you can find your mouse pointer?
Yes. In the
good 'ol days when I was an AWIPS programmer, I learned the advantage of a 2-monitor
workstation. At least a decade ago, published human factors research confirmed that a
2-monitor system improves productivity about 40%. But it's easy to lose the cursor
when there's so much display real-estate. It's been my experience for years that
xeyes really helps find and keep track of the trackball pointer's location.
I've also seen other people get a kick out of the xeyes when they see them on my
monitors.
If you have enough space on your screen, give it a try!
I wish xsnow would work on my workstation, but it doesn't. No real practical value,
but a neat novelty.
