Hi all,

The title is hopefully self-explanatory, but a little context just in case:

I'm working on something like this on a PW1. Basically I have a process I wrote that is launched via a config in `/etc/upstart`. The program simply generates a PNG file, and `eips` it to overwrite the entire screen contents every minute.

However, occasionally some other process will write some update to the status bar (probably updating the time or something) so it shows on top of the PNG, which is ugly.

Does anyone know which process is responsible for sending these updates to the screen? I'd like to `stop` it so only my PNG is shown on the screen. It's probably one of these but I didn't want to exhaustively check each one...

To be clear, by status bar, I mean this:
