Chapter 1. Configuring a Desktop Environment


I start the list of annoyances at the desktop, as that's where most new users learn to work with Linux. While most geeks believe in the command-line interface, new users demand an intuitive GUI configured with the applications they need. To add to configuration demands, many organizations demand a standard desktop environment, with a common set of applications, icons, login managers, and so on. Cleaning up every last detail can be annoying for the geek.

In this chapter, I illustrate some of the annoyances related to configuring the desktop environment.
