Chapter 3 . Getting into the Desktop 83 Figure 3-3: The KDE desktop includes a panel, desktop icons, and menus. Some of the key elements of the KDE desktop include: . Panel The KDE panel (shown along the bottom of the screen) includes items that enable you to launch applications and to see minimized representations of active windows, applets, and virtual desktops. A K icon on the left side of the panel is used to represent the main menu on a KDE desktop. In KNOPPIX, that icon is followed by a KNOPPIX-specific menu (it looks like a squished penguin) and other icons to launch common applications (the file manager, Terminal window, Web browser, and office applications). Four virtual desktops (shown in little boxes numbered 1, 2, 3, and 4) are available by clicking on the number of the virtual desktop you want to display. Applets (on the right side of the panel) in KNOPPIX let you change your keyboard, set screen resolution, adjust audio controls, and view the time. . Desktop icons The icons on the desktop are usually, by default, those that enable you to access removable media (CD, floppy disk, and so on), and throw out files (trash icon). In KNOPPIX, the KDE desktop also has a nice feature that lets you access your hard disk partitions directly from icons on the desktop.
