Title says it all. I searched and didn't find one! Every forum has one, so I thought snarkpit should have one too. That's all, post your desktops.

What the hell? I searched for post your desktop and it didn't come up with anything. Oh well then, close the thread if you feel like it.

I like GNOME. It's pretty nice. However, that looks like the redhat integrated version.

I just got Fedora Core 2 running on my laptop (it was difficult since my DVD drive decided to stop working properly) ... now I have the pleasure of getting a Belkin Wireless card working.

I've tried ndiswrapper thing (since no one will take the time to write a linux driver) and I found out there are several basic libraries gcc didn't install (stdio.h, for example) ...

I'm done.

I have a dual screen setup, but I'll only post the main screen since
they both use the same background. Can't find a way to assign images to
each, and I'm too lazy to combine two into a giant one :smile: The second
screen is pretty much permanently used for winamp and IRC anyway.

Looks pretty functional, but its too cluttered for my tastes. I'm sure
you could get rid of half of those desktop icons by putting them into
your mad sidebar buttons and whatnot :razz:

I see you like to have no icons on your desktop, satchmo. There are
tweaks (like X-Setup and Powertools for XP) to make that last icon -
trashcan - dissapear too, you know.

I love a clean desktop but have found it a pain as well. Not everything installs a link to the "Start" button. :sad:

If you have no link on the desktop, you must search it out via "My computer" and thats bulls**t..

My machine is optimized to give me every last erg of resources my paltry talents can attain.. removing all the Icons was one of those tweaks, although... even though it was a tweak option, I dunno how it could save resources, but since I love a clean desktop, i used it anyways...

You can just put things into the start button yourself by dragging an
icon onto it, or by going to your start menu folder and editing it
(will be found, on XP, somewhere like... Documents and Settings\All
Users\Start Menu).

No, I almost never click on the Start button. I have assigned a shortcut key (i.e. Ctrl-Alt-K) to every single program on my computer. I have memorized all these keys (including the symbol keys) so I can start any program in a fraction of a second without even putting my hand on the mouse.

You can imagine that I used to be a huge WordPerfect fan.
I see you like to have no icons on your desktop
Actually, that's not entirely true. I could've easily gotten rid of that trashcan using TweakUI from the MS PowerToys, but I wanted to see whether I have any files in the trashcan at all times. I don't want to delete the files immediately, but I also don't want any files sitting in the trashcan for more than a few hours.

I am extremely compulsive in that way. In fact, I do that to the real-life trashcan in my room too. I empty out the trashcan every other day, even though it's not even full.

What's most amazing is that my fiance loves me despite me being a superfreak.

Yeah, they should. I'm moving soon though, and in my basement
