Starting a new thread. Was Re: [gentoo-user] Gentoo's preference, Gnome or KDE ?

I've been experimenting with it, and it seems basically ok - no crap outs yet. 
Uses a lot fewer resources than kde.  

I do have a few of questions.

1. When shutting down, gnome 2.4 always produces a dialog box saying
(similar words to these) "these applications (all of mine are listed) won't
restart, you will need to restart them manually."  But they lie.  Most of them
restart, but all crammed onto the first desktop!  Is there any way to cause
gnome not to restart them, as it promissed?

2. When I right click and select properties for a desktop icon, I'm only allowed
to select an icon from /usr/share/pixmaps.  Any way to get around this and use
icons from other locations?  For example, OpenOffice has a suitable icon
available, but I can't find any way to use it, so I have to be content with the
"footprint."
