Hi,

Thanks very much! I exited and went back in and worked. Perhaps had something to do with starting the session. I have a couple more questions, however.

I like having a big clock (oclock) on the screen. So, I type oclock and it shows up all right. However I wonder how I can make it "sticky" across workspaces? This does not seem to have a window menu so i can not ask for it to be sticky across workspaces like that.

The second question I have pertains to the desktop sessions. I want to get rid of the trash can, the home and the filesystem. I have no use for them. So I get rid of the Allow Xfce to manage the desktop in Desktop Preferences under Settings Manager, but that also gets rid of the window list display upon middle click of the mouse. How do I do the latter? I guess the question may be: how do I create my new preferences?

Thanks again for all the help!

Best wishes,
Trotter
