[opensuse] Miniature desktop slideshow ?
Hi, My son has just purchased a vista laptop (needed for college). Whilst vista looks and feels awfull the miniature desktop slideshow in the side-bar is pleasant. Does anyone know of a linux equivalent ? All the slideshow progs I can find seem designed to run full screen. In an ideal world one would be able to display images either by folder, or by tag.

In Gwenview, Settings->Configure Gwenview->SlideShow->Start in fullscreen mode. This works by folder. You can turn off the toolbars with the Settings menu too; and if you want to go the whole way, window borders using the window (alt-f3) menu. For KDE 4 there is the Frame plasmoid which gives you a picture frame showing various pics on the desktop or in the sidebar, but this is not yet in the SUSE KDE 4 packages. Expect it on the next major iteration of KDE 4 packages though.

Why is Vista needed for college? I can't imagine going to a school which stoops down to such an low-class OS as a requirement. :P

Just to clarify - you have the ability to show what apps are running in a horizontal scroll bar shown in the middle of the screen and similar to KDE's task switcher. As far as I know, I have yet to see such a thing. I've yet to see really anything in Vista - except for the temperature gauge thingy - that is remotely cool. In fact, I rarely see my desktop so I don't bother with teh temperature thingy in Linux.
