Here is another vote to have an option in 'expert' to disable this
behavior.
I spent half a day at work trying to figure out what happened to the
desktop...Removing the Desktop dir and the .kde dir and restarting
to see if it would come back and run the wizard again(which I
thought was the problem.)
If you want to make the background a different color, fine, but do
not disable important icons like the shell and kill icon!
Expecialy as you have not fixed the problem with installing on Dell
Optiplex GX110s yet.
I still cannot get anything but 640x480x16color working on the Dell
with intel video.
This is with RC1.
MD8 worked fine, but ALL versions of MD8.1 have not worked at all.
It does not even ask to test the video anymore, just goes directly to
the 'boot x on startup' question.
