I like xearth, but I have colormap problems with it when I start netscrape or
xfmail. It's kind of a pain to have to kill xearth, setroot, then start another
greedy X program, then start xearth again...

Basically, all I want is a small app that will open a window and show me the
time of where each member of my immediate family is (at the moment, 5 time
zones). I was hoping that something along those lines had already been ported
to linux.

Great! If one hasn't already been written, let's do one. :)

Well, the one I was referring to came off a CICA Shareware 2/95 Walnut Creek
CDROM.

As Scott says, "it's a handy little gizmo."
