Hmmm, I'm using that applet too (and Windowmaker, which I quite like).
My only problem with it is that when I press "X" to disconnect, I see
the word "ERROR" appear for about 2 seconds. Do you get this too? Or is
it something in my setup?

I've glanced at the code, and from what I could make out only glancing,
"ERROR" appears when it notices it is no longer connected. I wrote the
applet, "ERROR"
would not occur if the user has already pressed "X".
