Yeah !, will you tell that to the rest of my family that I have 
Fedora/KDE on their boxes,
they have been using Fedora since 6 and they want their Icons on the 
desktop, not in a shaded window.
Now if you want their phone numbers, I would gladly send them to you. 
But I must warn you, when you get to my Brother, lots of luck. As far as 
he is concern, it's the old way or no way at all.
