KmTail is a KDE4 version of the venerable Ktail program. It has pretty much
the same features and allows you to monitor various log files. Note that most
files in /var/log are only root-readable so you will have to start KmTail with
kdesu for it to be useful. Log files are added via the File menu as usual or may 
be dragged from a file manager. Tabs may be reordered by dragging them around.

KmTail uses the highly efficient turbotail program instead of GNU tail. This is available
from http://www.vanheusden.com/turbotail/turbotail-0.3.tgz or from your distro's 
repository. The Gentoo ebuild installs it automatically.

N.B. The KmTail icon I shamelessly pilfered from an old KDE2 program called kwatch
which has now been neglected.
