redhat 7.2 icons on desktop

Hello all,

Is there a way to change the behavior of the gnome desktop manager so that when your iconify a window it will be place on the desktop intead on on the task manager (gnome-panel)? It gets confusing having to loook throught the gnome-panle for the window I want when you have alot of windows up. I know that I can drag the windows I want on the desktop. That is OK but the window if fixed, meaning if I log out and then log in again the icons will be there even though I may not be using them. I guess I wanted to know if when I iconfiy a window it would behavior like CDE on solaris?

Can there be alt-texts to icons?

Can you add hover texts (alt-texts) to icons? It is not always obvious what each of them mean just by looking at them. Sometimes it is clear from the url it points to, but for accessibility reasons alone it would be good to have alt-texts as a standard. (1 Reply)

GNOME-SESSION(1)					      General Commands Manual						  GNOME-SESSION(1)

NAME
gnome-session - Starts up the GNOME desktop environment SYNOPSIS
gnome-session [--autostart=DIR] [--default-session-key=KEY] [--failsafe|-f] [--debug] DESCRIPTION
The gnome-session program starts up the GNOME desktop environment. This command is typically executed by your login manager (either gdm, xdm, or from your X startup scripts). It will load either your saved session, or it will provide a default session for the user as defined by the system administrator (or the default GNOME installation on your system). The default session is defined in the GConf keys under /desktop/gnome/session. When saving a session, gnome-session saves the currently running applications in the $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/gnome-session/saved-session directory. gnome-session is an X11R6 session manager. It can manage GNOME applications as well as any X11R6 SM compliant. OPTIONS
The following options are supported: --autostart=DIR Start all applications defined in DIR, instead of starting the applications defined in /desktop/gnome/session/default_session, or via the --default-session-key option. Multiple --autostart options can be passed. --default-session-key=KEY Sets the GConf key from which applications running a default session should be read to KEY. If not specificed, /desktop/gnome/ses- sion/default_session will be used. --failsafe gnome-session will run in fail-safe mode. User-specified applications will not be started. --debug Enable debugging code. ENVIRONMENT
gnome-session accepts all of the standard environment variables used by gnome programs, other than the SESSION_MANAGER environment vari- able. gnome-session also sets several environment variables for the use of its child processes. SESSION_MANAGER This variable is used by session-manager aware clients to contact gnome-session. DISPLAY This variable is set to the X display being used by gnome-session. Note that if the --display option is used this might be different from the setting of the environment variable when gnome-session is invoked. SEE ALSO

If you find bugs in the gnome-session program, please report these on http://bugzilla.gnome.org. GNOME GNOME-SESSION(1)
