I was really hoping for a response of a modification for gconf-editor's mandatory window
to just snap the stuff back to standard size.  I don't really want to keep them from
saving stuff to the desktop.  Maybe what I want isn't possible without some major
tweaks.  Thanks for the suggestion.  I did find an option in gconf-editor that would
prevent previewing the images so they would just get a generic jpg icon or something, I
might try that first before a complete ban of saving to the desktop.

Thanks again,
Jim
