None. I view a computer as a tool not an entertainment device. I prefer
having whatever small amount of computer resources it takes to display
a
destop picture used by my applications instead. The desktop is covered
with files I'm working on and is covered by programs almost all the
time
the computer is on. If I want to look at an image frequently I'l print
it out and
stick it on the wall.

I also prefer my sci newsgroups on topic and not containing retarded
threads like this.

Me as well, I just have the standard blue background. I find anything
else distracting.

Do you really spend that much time looking at the computer's
wallpaper? I only see mine when when I first boot up, or for a couple
seconds when closing some applications. the rest of the time I am
running something in full screen mode and its hidden.

You never have to start another application? I rarely run applications
full screen. I keep the bottom and right sides of the screen clear so
I can start my most common programs. I usually have a dozen or more
windows[*] open and I arrange them so there is something peeking out of
the most used ones to facilitate switching.

[*] At work I may have a dozen telnet sessions open to AIX system(s), plus
another dozen or so Windows sessions.

Likewise, although I don't have more than two or three windows open at
a time.

The need for working space is what provoked my ignorant question of a
few weeks ago about collecting several icons under a single "topic"
icon.

Then I remembered folders could have an icon ;-)

I'm now down to 32 icons on the left side of the screen, down from 56.

(I had already moved 6 of my "regulars" to the left side of the tray
last summer.)
