Ah, a computer . In all fairness it's probably not worth emulating pre Win95 versions of Windows. I think I finally tossed my WIn 3.1 disks last time I moved.
I still have an iso image of Win 3.11 somewhere. I used to have Win 3.1 on floppy, but was missing the last floppy at some point. Anytime setup would ask for the last disk, if I pressed enter enough times, install would just move on and continue anyway...
well, now root has his own desktop theme as well. i call it "Caution_Root"
Please don't tell me you actually run X as root on a regular basis...
I once had this idea, too (to give root a specific X/desktop config), but now I don't really want to bother. I'm worried about inadvertantly changing global settings that would affect all users, not just root.

oh god no lol. i was just really bored. when i switched my default runlevel from 3 to 4, i could no longer launch graphical apps as root using sudo (it gives an error about screen not found or something) so in order to use graphical apps as root (never necessary, but i do prefer xconfig to menuconfig, probably the only time i'd ever run a desktop as root)i have to start X as root. i figured since i was there, i might as well make it look halfway decent.
Pretty neat. I need to ask... Is that a folder widget or something? Never seen something like that before.
Hi corp769
This is Desktop widget in Kde 4.4 ( I think Kde 4.4 is the default of debian Squeeze, where i am posting now... well not really, i am posting from a Solaris VM in Squeeze )

Oh ok, thanks. I'm not a fan of kde, but I might try to find something like that just to mess with.
