Actually it does less then xeyes since you cannot resize it. And of course it uses much
more CPU-time then the original.
Since xeyes was probably the very first X-Window eye candy, I thought Superkaramba
needed a version. Maybe I'm just too nostalgic.
My Distribution does not include xeyes anymore, and I learned writing Python Extensions
while creating it, so for me it was useful.
I plan to add easy themeing to it, but this has not a high priority since I,ve started working
on superkaramba itself, which probably is more useful.
But if I had not needed the getWidgetPosition API-Function for karamba eyes, I probably
would never had started to contribute to SuperKaramba.
And btw, nobody needs to use this.

Does this do anything different from xeyes? Why does Super/Karamba need its own version?

Oh, I see. In that case: Cool hack! xeyes is like the "hello world!" of the GUI world. :-)
what addition(s) do you need to the API?
A Function which returns the position of the widget. I already sent you a patch yesterday.
