I'd just like a very simple recipe: do this, then this, then this.
I really, _really_, *REALLY* do not want to have to go through
the learning curve of figuring out how to fiddle "desktop effects"
to do something that is very common and ought to be so easy.
It used to be easy.  'Tis quite *beyond* just annoying.

If anyone has such a recipe, *please* just post it.  Thank you so much.

Regards, Bruce
