    not all applets support it yet, but everybody loves transparency.

    Yeah...especially Nvidia, ATI, and everyone else in the graphics card biz.

  3. Re:I need a clean desktop by archeopterix · · Score: 4, Funny
    Is there a way to remove the Trash and Home icons from the desktop yet? I've been able to do this in XP and KDE3 since they came out. If I can't have a totally clear desktop, I'll pass on this release.
    I just type 'X' (from the text-mode console) and admire the ultra-clean desktop.

    On rare occasions when I need something done I type 'export DISPLAY=:0 ; sleep 10 ; xterm' from another console before that.

    By the way, what is this Gnome thing?
