Thanks for that. All are good ideas, which I believe I might adopt. Drawing
on the wallpaper is something I did when I was 16 (Windows 95), but it's
very time-consuming.
The main issue crops up when others use this workstation. They fail to grasp
what goes on as I only have KPager and a Desktop without any items. A lot is
done using xbindkeys. It works for me, but I believe that this feature from
GNOME could (/should) be added to KDE and leave the panel in sight. There is
another nice (to some extent) feature in GNOME. Windows that are maximised
tend to stick to their full-sized mode, but only if you drag them far
enough, they will 'snap' and become movable.
