Hi. I've taken some advice I got on the list and am running Gnome with kwin instead of metacity. It's kind of the best of both worlds for me. In general, it works well. When I first tried this, I think I did "kwin --replace", and kwin took over. I think I also made some changes to my session setup to try to save/start kwin. Initially, only the first of my 8 desktops were drawn with a background, icons, and menus. The rest were a solid gray. I somehow got the rest of the desktops to show those things, but I don't remember how. Now, a few weeks later, I rebooted and am back to having seven gray backgrounds. (I think I screwed up the session definition and had to do kwin --replace again.) I'm sure this is a simple problem, but I'm a bit confused about what is handling the desktop and integrating with the multiple desktops. Is it nautilus? If so, why is it not handling all 8 desktops? I'm not particularly set on its idea of desktop management, so if it would work better to run something else, that would be fine, too.
