Also in the terminal.....
Authored by: kjackson on Feb 11, '02 02:34:00PM

When a process is active in the terminal, the widget obtains a dot.

This indicates that if the window is closed, a fold out will appear asking you if you are sure you want to also terminate the process running in the terminal.

Try it... run top... dot appears....control-c top...the dot disappears...neat.

I find it particularly useful for knowing at a glance my terminal windows in which i am telneted or ssh-ed to a remote host.
