kde desktops

[Doctor V]

I want to make it so the different desktops on kde have different backgrounds.  I go to preferneces -->  look n' feel  -->  background  uncheck common background, and select the background for each of my desktops, click apply but nothing happens, it worked in Mandrake 9.0, but I can't get it to work in redhat 8.0 for some reason

any ideas?

:rolleyes:  

I was asking about KDE, I like KDE alot better, but sometimes I use Gnome, how do you do the same thing in Gnome?

Does kde seem slow on the boot up to any one else besides me?

Yes, on a 433mhz celeron. I tried it on a 1.1ghz athlon and it booted up very fast (noth machines with 256mb of RAM, although the athlon did use DDR. . .)

I think the problem has lots to do with the Redhat hack of KDE, I'd go and get KDE and install that and not the RH hackup, or pull it from your mandrake cd's.

Try RH>PREFERNCES>BACKGROUND

I got an 1 ghz system but it still seems kinda slow compared to the other GUI's.
Ah well, atleast it still boots eh.

I never really tried it before might give it a shot.
So far I think IceWM is one of the best.
Enlightenment isn't to bad either.

The problem with Windowmaker for me was that it lacked the functionality of KDE and gnome.

Enlightenment kicks the shit out of other GUIs
