	I'm getting input overload on jargon here. Desktop, workspace, 
GUI, window manager, theme, appearance, background, wallpaper, ... and 
about a dozen more, all seem to have technincal meanings -- more than I 
can keep track of.

	Is a desktop environment the same as a desktop? Or what *is* a 
desktop??
