When did this thread get all serious and questiony?
gildasbayard: You probably need to enable cookies for dillo.

Palmetto: Some of your questions are answered here on a regular basis. Others can be easily found with a search here or google/linux.
Easiest way to change backgrounds is with the command "bsetbg -f /path/to/image". No copying necessary.
I think you're seeing things? 3 .xtdesktops? There is one in /home/dsl, probably another one (template) in /etc/skel. The only one that should have any influence is in /home/dsl. You sure you only removed one gif/lnk pair? didn't change anything else? If there is a missing gif listed in a lnk file, or if the lnk is not exact, no icons will display.
Reboot is practically never needed in Linux.
The "help file" is typically built into an application, and displays only a brief description of commandline arguments. For more info, consult the program's man page. If you are connected to the internet in DSL, do "man appname" in a terminal. Otherwise, go to google/linux and search for "man appname". Usually one of the top hits is a manpage, on die.net for example.
Do you have tiny tiny fonts? I've never had trouble distinguishing characters. fixed is a very clean, readable font used as default most of the time.
Using sudo su does not negate security, but it does give you the opportunity to destroy your system with a few typos. Running as a normal user unless absolutely necessary, and having strong passwords set up are still two very important steps toward a secure system.
For viewing postcript files, try gvu. If you're looking for an application, usually "which appname" or "type -p appname" will find it much more quickly than "find".
Your internal modem is probably not a modem. Winmodems are mostly software-controlled, which means more work for your system, and slower performance.
I don't know what the CHM issue is...I've never seen chm files in linux.
