A "daemon", if you will, that will popup on the screen when a predetermined series of keystrokes are hit. The program will then do various things, like record/play macros, calculator, calendar, programmer's guide, etc etc... The part I'm having trouble with though is having it popup when predetermined keystrokes are pushed. I don't think Linux has a way to hook into the keyboard (if I'm wrong, someone please tell me).
