rightclick the desktop and a menu comes up ... one of the entries on it is desktop I believe that will have an entry that opens to the right which says, Icons only & Fully Enhanced desktop.  Try Icons only to start, as I don't know what the enhanced one does really...it doesn't look different to me.

You need to use a higher graphics resolution.

The desktop icons will not appear when running lower resolution / color depths.

"Icons only" starts xtdesk, which gives you your icons.  "fully enhanced" starts xtdesk, fluxter, and the dockapps. "No icons" closes xtdesk.

If you already have a fully enhanced desktop running and click on "icons only" i think it doesn't do anything....seems like maybe fluxter and dockapps should be closed in this case.

HAH!..... :laugh: i wasnt even thinking about my video resolution.... that would explain it all...  the monitor im using is really old and it cant support even the normal res or high resolution...... cuz when it first starts to boot from the cd, i have to press F2 and change my video settings....... otherwise when it goes to the next screen, everything is all blury.........


........  :p
