I tried running it. It works fine until it tries to run the watch function a
second time, then it does this:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "watch.py", line 76, in ?
    watch()
  File "watch.py", line 58, in watch
    size2 = len(urllib.urlopen(url).readlines())
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/urllib.py", line 76, in urlopen
    return opener.open(url)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/urllib.py", line 181, in open
    return getattr(self, name)(url)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/urllib.py", line 410, in open_file
    return self.open_local_file(url)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/urllib.py", line 420, in open_local_file
    raise IOError(e.errno, e.strerror, e.filename)
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'www.kde-apps.org'

I really like the idea,
