Thanks, but this one has some problems. When I initiate several on-screen
displays in a row (e.g. by quickly switching desktops) they overlap. TO
avoid this I plan to use "killall osd_cat". However, osd_cat doesn't
disappear immediatly after killing it, and therefore I'll still have
overlapping osds. Do you have a solution for that? How do you use xosd?
