... D'OH!Uhh got into a hot discussion about end-users .. ;-) I am using and extending my 3.x DSL-system at the time didn't have so much time to look at the 4.0 Release. One Question : In 3.x You can add and remove the desktop-Icons on your own .. just how You like it Isn't that possible in 4.0 If Yes :What is this discussion about ? My suggestion : start with as few Icons as possible and let the user add more when he likes . I really wonder What this discussion is about ... aren't all things reachable from the menu

I have no opinion, so I'm not going to reply.
Yea, and we know how much you love icons. Why are the options limited to only 22?I am okay with the full 22 icons as long as the 'noicons' boot option still works - no sarcasm intended.

Yes, and some might say it's even easier since it now can be done with a drag and drop action.
It seems the question of the specific starting icons stems from a recent post that suggests the majority of non-expert computer users tend to limit their focus to whatever is available on the desktop. I won't argue with this claim because I agree with it. I've known many users who focus *all* of their computing on what is immediately visible on the desktop, save all files to the desktop, and have no knowledge of anything other than what can be seen on the desktop. Directory structure, PATH, and shell have no meaning to these users, and I wouldn't be surprised if many have never used a desktop ("start") menu.Next Page...
