Faces is a Gtk+ program for monitoring a list visually. Typically this is
a list of incoming mail messages. IMAP and POP mailbox formats are
supported.
Faces has three different modes of operation:
* The default will monitor for new mail.
* You can monitor the whole of a mail file.
* Custom monitoring. You can specify a program or shell script to run.
Lots of good examples can be downloaded from:
ftp://ftp.cs.indiana.edu/pub/faces/picons/src/
Audio capabilities are also provided as a conditional compilation option.
* - deleted ports are only shown under the This port is required by section. It was harder to do for the Required section. Perhaps later...

NOTE:
For generating faces out of xbm files you must use
the following helper filters:
xbm2ikon
and perhaps
xbmsize48 or xbmcut48
e.g.
1) generate a 48x48x1 xbm file
2) cat <file.xbm> | xbm2ikon > file.ikon
3) compface file.ikon > file.face
And the other way arround to display a face
Note uncompface -X is the same as
uncompface | ikon2xbm
useful for exmh!
