I sincerely thank you for your reply. Thing is, I am a Linux *user.* I 
cannot write scripts. By trade, I am a mechanical engineer by day - with 
computers, I already have too many other things to learn from scratch 
first. For now I am struggling with Blender.

I already hit Google and found a solution which I tried but it didn't 
work. I also read up on www.gnome.org, and nothing there indicated that 
this was possible.

Many thanks again. If there's a one line command to do this, I'll give 
it a shot; if not I'll just resign the request. I have been *using* 
Linux for about 6 years, so I am used to giving up on simple desires.
