    I have lxpanel as a way to have a battery monitor and system tray on CDE, but it only goes on workspace 1. I want it on all four, but it has no border so I can't tell it to occupy all four. How would I go about doing that?

      What happens if you supply on the command line something like:

      -xrm "*workspaceList: ws0 ws1 ws2 ws3"

      ? In theory, that should work if your lxpanel honors that and sets up
      the WM_COMMAND property so that dtwm can see it.

    Sorry for the late reply.

    It gives me this:

    silent@TERMINAL-BMRF-9 ~ $ lxpanel -xrm "*workspaceList: ws0 ws1 ws2 ws3"
    lxpanel: unknown option - -xrm
    lxpanel 0.7.0 - lightweight GTK2+ panel for Linux & UNIX desktops
    Command line options:
    --help -- print this help and exit
    --version -- print version and exit
    --profile name -- use specified profile

    -h -- same as --help
    -p -- same as --profile
    -v -- same as --version

    Visit http://lxde.org/ for details.

    It appears as though lxpanel doesn't have that option.

    Excuse and me for late response and possible offtopic ☺

    First of all, usage a component of one DE in a different DE don't likes as good practice.
    Initially I can suggest to try some standalone, AFAIR not included in DE panell application. For example — x11-misc/fbpanel.
    But it's also is not perfect solution. Because it uses not native (Motif) GUI libraries.

    To my mind it will be right to start with listing modern (missed in oryginal CDE set) modules, needed to be re-designed on Motif's base.
    In this thread I see system tray and battery monitor panel plugins.

    What's the best system tray to use if you likeed Win9x/ME and like KDE? It's not always bad to mix software as long as you have no problems... some DEs have their own services you need to load (would those be available later?) but others don't and I think their system trays will work fine...
