Customizing YDL

[Greg Hamilton]

I use Gnome.

> 1) Get rid of the some applets (and maybe add my own)
A right mouse button click on the on any panel item will display a 
menu. Select 'remove from panel'.

> 2) Set a default wallpaper
Right click on the desktop. Last option in the menu is 'Change Desktop 
Background'

> 3) Set default desktop icons
Open the main menu using the main menu icon in the panel (the icon with 
the  YDL logo). Select Preferences/Themes to display currently 
installed themes. Select the details of a theme. Change whatever. 
You'll be prompted to save your changes as a new theme. Old theme 
remains unchanged.

> 4) Set default panel icons (get rid of Presentations, add the terminal
> etc.)
To add new items click on a free spot on the panel (ie. not an icon or 
applet). Select 'add to panel'

> 5) Stop Gnome from asking to shut down/reboot on exit

Don't know about KDE. I have it installed just in case I get curious 
but I really like Gnome. It has the little footprint. Four toes. Cute 
little footprint. There it is. On the screen. Right now. Little 
footprint. Must sleep now.
