   Thank you, that's the very thing I was thinking about when I left for   
   work. Having a problem tho'. If I'm not logged in cron sends the   
   following message (for obvious reasons):   
      
   Cron  killall -USR1 xfdesktop   
   xfdesktop: no process killed   
      
   I received 25 such notices last night alone .   
      
   I'm scretchy at scripting, perhpas you can assist with this issue?
