Who can drop few lines of code?Send you beer!

Ah, that beer hit the spot! I think I understand what the problem is now. Starting the rain plugin resets xidle to 0. How about try this modified version:

If it works, you can eliminate all the print statements. If it doesn't work, please post the output again.

Perfect!

Unutbu,
that was awesome.In combination with kind of wet backround image its a fantastic screensaver.Too much ugly hacking to publish in the forum?I am shure a few more people would like it..

So if you don't bother getting small wooden box with bottle of rare beer,pm
me delivery address.Would be a pleasure to me.
Thank you for your patience and time!

I am trying to get this work on 10.04 but when I run Idlerain.py

leb@leb-laptop:~$ ~/bin/idlerain.py
/bin/sh: xidle: not found
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/leb/bin/idlerain.py", line 16, in <module>
    idle=get_idle_time()
  File "/home/leb/bin/idlerain.py", line 8, in get_idle_time
    return float(proc.communicate()[0])
ValueError: empty string for float()
leb@leb-laptop:~$

When I run xidle, I get.

leb@leb-laptop:~$ ~/bin/xidle
0.006000

Any Help would be appreciated.

EDIT Never mind I got it. The error /bin/sh: xidle: not found should of told me to put the xidle in ~/bin/sh which made it work like a charm
