I've been thinking about this for a while and I finally decided I'd
post it to this group.

I'm sure we're all familiar with xeyes and xload (or xmeter).  What I
think would be REALLY neat would be to combine these two.  Personally,
I know that when I look at system load, I'm most concerned with
instantaneous load and less concerned with past load.  So I was
thinking it would be cool to have an xeyes with eyelids that closed as
the system load went up.  That way, when your system wasn't doing
much, the eyes would be wide open.  When you were really bogged down,
they would "go to sleep."

I'd be willing to work on this myself, but I'm missing two things.
The first is time, but I suppose I could find that if I tried hard
enough.  The second is example source.  Namely, the source to xeyes
(with shape extensions) and a method for reading the instantaneous
load.  Being fairly new to X, I don't know where I might find these.
If someone could give me a hint or two, I might get these files and
look into just what this project would involve.

Of course, if someone else has already pulled this little stunt off,
I'd be interested in finding THAT out, too :-)
