    Hi,

    At school I have my .fvmrc2 file in which I have these kind of lines:
    exec xterm -sl 2048 -ls -bg \#`printf '%02x%02x%02x' $((RANDOM%
    31+224)) $((RANDOM%31+224)) $((RANDOM%31+224))` -e ssh remote.host.com

    to get an xterm windows at remote.host.com. The random light colored
    background is obtained with \#`printf '%02x%02x%02x' $((RANDOM%
    31+224)) $((RANDOM%31+224)) $((RANDOM%31+224))`

    I was wondering, how do I get the same thing in gnome at my home machine
    running Debian Testing (2.6.12 kernel). I tried to make a custom
    application launcher on the panel but the command to get random
    background doesn't work. Any ideas what I should do instead?

    thanks,
    ->HS
