KDE has a setting to turn off its desktop while leaving the panel on--you see the Aqua (Mac) desktop in this case. This could well by how you are configured.
I'm not sure about whether GNOME can be set up this way; I was going to install it anyway, so I'll try it out and get back to you. Alexander K.

I use Apple's X11. Whenever I fire KDE (startkde) I see KDE panel, but the background remains same as that of Apple's (no, the background isnt same in KDE configuration; when I change Apple's background, I see the change in KDE without changing its configuration). When I fire Gnome (gnome-session) its background covers the default Apple's background. I have set both Gnome and KDE to use the Apple's Window Manager "quartz-wm". I tried to fiddle around with some basic configuration scripts but it did not help. I have no idea why KDE is behaving like this, but does anyone know how can I get similar behaviour in Gnome. The versions are Gnome 2.0, KDE 3.1, and fink updated from cvs. Thanks, Shashwat ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Etnus, makers of TotalView, The best thread debugger on the planet.
