My work desktop's hard disk died (again) so I did a fresh Debian Etch install. I thought I'd try out Gnome - stop laughing at the back. But it hides the root window. How could I live without my trusty floatbg?
- run
gconf-editor
(that probably lives in a menu somewhere) - change
apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop
tofalse
- in Desktop/Preferences/Sessions, add
floatbg
as a startup program
Ta-daa!
