Hi, Can I turn off the plasma desktop background (i.e. the window that gets mapped over the root window) without killing plasma? I want to use plasma mainly for the applets like knetworkmanager, and don't want to lose access to my plain old X11 root window. I tried "remove this desktop activity" but in the case of the desktop background it appears to do nothing. This is in KDE 4.4.2 (Ubuntu Lucid) -- apologies if there are relevant changes in subsequent versions. Thanks for any help, Stephen. ___________________________________________________ This message is from the kde mailing list. Account management: https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde.
