I recall years ago (two jobs ago) on the Unix system at work, we had a tool called "xeyes" which amounted to a pair of eyes which were always displayed on the monitor and always "followed" the cursor.  It was great.  Just what I need now!  But when I launch the "Software" tool on my system and look for xeyes, it doesn't find it.  How do I get xeyes for my 64-bit Fedora-18 system?
