I just noticed that if you left-click on your Gnome desktop, hold the

your desktop. It goes away as soon as you release the mouse button.

What is that for, if anything at all?

It is a selection 'lasso' that should select any icons that you
encompass. Then you can do any of the usual things that you can do to
selected icons - drag, copy, delete, etc. Most other windows should
work the same way.

Coolness! It works in KDE, too. Ric
