John, see my response to Clayton. There is another step one has to go
thru which will create a desktop equivalent (well....) to what one had
in KDE3.

I haven't yet tried to emulate what you talk about above but from what I
have done I am not having disasters. My only complaint so far is that
the configuration to auto-hide the taskbar/taskmanager will not "stick"
and the damn 'bar comes back visible after a reboot.

I did pretty much exactly what you did, (only four desktops).

I skipped the step you mentioned:
*AND*, before all this will work, one has to also select the Folder View for the desktop. "
because I don't want folder view. That allows you to view a folder as
your desktop which is pretty much required if you want to have icons
on the desktop as I understand.

But I've decided to make user of the Favorites in the panel and go for
the clean desktop look.

Are you saying you have to go for Folder View to achieve stability?
(I could do that and just refrain from putting crap in that folder
easily enough).
