Well that worked.  It loaded on the DSL account.  It sure would have been nice if a dialog box popped up telling me to use the dsl account.  I spent hours trying to do this every which way till sunday.  I must have read 200 posts on the forums looking for a way too.

The reason I have been using the root account is because the root account has all of the nice icons right on the desktop.  The dsl account doesn't.   I'm such a rookie with linux that even doing something simple like putting icons on the desktop has a steep learning curve for me.

Now that I've installed Samba on the DSL account when I go to run linneighborhood in the root account it doesn't show up.

I'm trying to get one account that has a desktop configuration like the root account does and also has linneighborhood on it and I'll be all set.

Can anyone give me a simple way to do this?

I really appreciate your help.  I feel like such a linux virgin. :p

There's already sufficient content in the forums, wiki, etc., explaining that you use user dsl (be careful with case in Linux: DSL and dsl are two different things) instead of root in DSL.

As to your question, you have something called icontool.lua that's available to turn on/off icons: it's in the menu, or you can launch it from a terminal window (NOT as root, as user dsl) by typing its name (as above).
