News Ticker "nice" setting

[Joe Sullivan]

Hey all,


I keep a News Ticker running in a child panel at the top of my screen, which 
includes headlines from 25-30 locations.

This is all fine until it goes to check on new headlines (2 hour increments). 
Then it takes over my system until it clears up.


I noticed that if I change the "nice" value for news ticker to 19, this 
doesn't happen. I can keep working without interruption, and it just grabs 
news with what sytem resources are free without disturbing me.


The applet/panel load on startup. Is there any way to set the nice value to 
"19" automatically on startup? Doing it by hand isn't that big of a hassle, 
but this is Linux, so there must be an easier way. ;-)



Thanks,
Joe
