Configuring the Graphical Environment from the Desktop

Main Desktop behavior options

To change aspects of the main Desktop's behavior, double-click on the Main Desktop Behavior icon in the Preferences Editor.

You can configure the following:


Desktop as root window
sets whether or not the main Desktop occupies the Root window. If set to ``True'', the Desktop fills the entire screen.

Default desktop display mode
specifies whether icons are displayed as images or names

Desktop opening display method
if you change the way icons are displayed on the main Desktop from the View menu, specifies whether future desktops display icons the same way (``Always inherit'') or display according to the value set in the ``Default desktop display mode'' field (``Never inherit'')

Desktop traversal mode
determines if opening a new desktop reuses the current window, or displays a new window
