I don't have a kmenu, there is only enough kde to get kmail running.  The 
window manager is still gdm.

Again, there seems not to be a desktop settings in any pulldown.

I have since installed a few of the usual suspects, but it appears I may 
have to install the full kde to get that stuff.  I would rather not, and it 
seems to me that gnome should have the equivalent function, but it isn't in 
the prefs or admin sections of the pulldowns.

Thanks.
