Thanks, I will look into ratpoison.  I have not heard of that before.   Is it a window manager or an application?  If it is a window manager, what application(s) would you recommend to run within the windows?  

(Sorry if this is a newb question, I have not researched ratpoison yet)

It's a wm. And the screenshot at ratpoison.org with the screen divided into 4 would be exactly what you wanted, right?

For apps, well, what will you need? Feh was already mentioned as a good image viewer. If you need to play video, then Mplayer. You could even run OO.o Impress in one of the slices, to scroll text or so.

OK, I missed the feh suggestion, that is another program that is new to me but looks promising.  

Any suggestions for a scrolling ticker type RSS reader?

Thanks for all of the great suggestions!!!!
