well, I typically have GeekTool showing a window over my menubar to show iTunes info using this shell script:

#!/bin/sh
set h = "       2"
if($(test $(ps -x | grep /Applications/iTunes.app/Contents/MacOS/iTunes | wc -l) -eq "       2"))
then
if($(osascript -e 'tell application "itunes"' -e 'return player state is playing' -e 'end tell'))
then
        echo "$(osascript -e 'tell application "itunes"' -e 'return artist of current track & " - "' -e 'end tell')$(osascript -e 'tell application "itunes"' -e 'return name of current track' -e 'end tell')"
else
        echo "Not Playing"
fi
fi

The script refreshes every ten seconds, and it always messes with exposé when showing the desktop. Other exposé functions work correctly, but when showing the desktop, the windows pull back in when the script refreshes. It's possibly something in the script, which I just cobbled together from various sources (I just know it works, not how it works.) Any help would be appreciated.
