Anders,
	Can you please specify how to disentangle Gnome & KDE Desktops?
	i.e. Customise the location of one's "Desktop" folder?

		well, xd2 wasn't released until 8.2 so I haven't had a
chance yet, but so far 
		all the packages have had the same names so that shouldn't
be a problem.

		I did upgrade xd2 from gnome 2.2 to gnome 2.4 though, in the
Ximian unstable

problems

have that problem

		There is one thing that most people react to, besides the
problem with $PATH I 
		mentioned, and that is that since both Gnome and KDE use
$HOME/Desktop as the 
		desktop directory, things collide. But again, this is a
problem with gnome/
		KDE in general, not where you get it from. You can always
set manually a 
		different directory for either one to avoid it
