It has a taskbar that can show text/icons, etc. I'd like to see my currently logged in task on the taskbar. The way I see it, I could either 1) poll emacs for the current task or 2) have emacs run a cron job and output the current task to a file or directly set the taskbar Has anyone done something like this? I found the "External Programs" section on this page: http://orgmode.org/worg/org-hacks.html but didn't find anything directly. Thanks, --Nate
