Yes. But what I understood from the post was that what you get on your desktop is more of an 'icon widget' than an 'icon'. Traditional desktops are essentially just a single folder which is rendered in a special way. Which, as a side effect, means you can do all the things you can normally do with a folder, such as sort. KDE4's desktop seems to be more of a surface on which you can place things than a folder. -- Fedora 9 : sulphur is good for the skin ( www.pembo13.com ) -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
