Well, I agree about 'rm'. But I get other nice functionality with
Gnome's desktop enabled: for example, I can access some Gnome menus
from the desktop.
So I guess that I have to make a tradeoff: if I want the Gnome
desktop functionality, I need to see those icons; and if I don't
want to see those icons, I can use sawfish but not get to Gnome's
menus from the desktop.
That's not a horrible choice to have to make ... but I want to have
my cake and eat it too. :)
