kdesktop

ok, so my crazy desktop is kinda done, but not really. I was wondering if its possible to have kdesktop make icons on the desktop everytime something is minimized, like how rox does it. That was the only real reason i used rox, but since i can't get the gorilla icons to work with i started looking for an alternative. so can it be done? also y is it so hard to install styles in kde? i tried installing baghira, but it doesn't compile. here is a screenshot of my desktop http://genesis.blogdns.net/packages/oth … nshot4.png

Re: kdesktop

Since your desktop is already pretty bastardized, why not use xfdesktop-svn? That supports what you are talking about...

Making screenshots of windows is kinda waste of cpu cycles, so only use that if you have a really fast cpu  8)
