I've been using gv to look at html2ps output before I print it.  If I 
change the ps I have to tell gv to reload it (there's a button for that, 
at least).  Hmm... it also has a menu option "watch file" that looks 
like it does what you want.

No, that doesn't help you at all.  I was just wondering how you'd 
implement watching the file--polling for changes seems ugly, and you'd 
not want to get stuck with FAM or something.

I think full screen mode isn't too hard in X.  Any idea how hard 
watching a file is?
