And post how your desktop feels. I eliminated the task-bar and menu-bar (both are obsolete features). Instead, I use right click for my apps, (see screen), middle click to view / switch workstations, and I allow the mouse to switch workstations by dragging it off to the side. I also use lazy focus (just moving the mouse over a window selects it) If anybody is wondering what "Gorilla" is, it is a supurb GTK2 theme. Screenshots here.

The end result is a much simpler and more relaxed feeling without the extra clutter. As many of you know, I am a minimalist who hates clutter found in KDE and PERL and appreciates elegance and simplicity found in XFCE4 and Python. (Hehe, sorry GBK, no cheap-shot intended, just poking fun here [http://forums.massassi.net/html/wink.gif])

I have a whole bunch of other games inside Point2Play that aren't on that menu.

I do have JK and JED (yes, JED runs on linux), but I admit to not owning One Must Fall.

It actually does, just not fast very fast... in addition to the HUD being messed up. I see no reason to run it in 3d accel. mode unless there are 16 bit mats.

The panel on the bottom right hides with that arrow button in the right corner, and windows can overlap it. It contains launch buttons for the apps I use most (Fireyiff, konsole, Juk, X-Chat, Gaim, etc). Taskbar and system tray are along the top.

Only thing that's changed on it since the 29th is the Halo 2 countdown timer I added under my system meter (I know, I'm such a loser) and a few extra icons I need to clean up.

If anyone wants a copy of the wallpaper shown there that I made, speak up and I'll throw the links up here. I have it in three colors Red, Green and Blue, all with or without text.
