I'm running linux on my laptop.  I have 8 different desktops and when you have 
a webpage open on a desktop, the taskbar shows the favicon for that webpage.  
So when I have hobbit running on a desktop I always see the hobbit status in 
myu webpage.  (It's easier to see in a screen shot then to explain it, just 
runs linux and you will see ;) ).
