Version: 4.1.0-16
Severity: wishlist

Hi Developer!

  I used to run xbiff remotely more then once. Please include "hint" style (or
something similar) hostname (or FQDN) displaying. It would be useful when running
more than one xbiffs on different servers remotely.

Thanks: Nil.

PS: I know there are different ways for similar results, for example colors,
images. Please think with the dummy user's head :-)

I am finding your report difficult to understand.

Are you asking for xbiff to have a label widget in it with the client
system's hostname, as "xload" has?

Or are you asking for something else?

Yes, something like that. I woyld like to see the hostname. I think it
is not needed to always show. (I don't know what label widget).

Thx: Nil.

Well, It was never been implemented, do you still have a need for this,
or shall I close this bug ?

Best regards.
