I installed 11.4 from the DVD, and it is the 32-bit version. (The installation is a stock-standard installation with all the latest upgrades as of a few hours ago.)
I have 5 questions which I would be pleased to have answered
[pruned] I'll take the opportunity to thank everyone - Nelson, Dominique, Atri - in this one message so as not to repeat myself :-) . Following the kind instructions given, I have 'solved' all 5 niggly bits: I have a clean workspace/desktop; the icon cache has been rebuilt; the background wallpaper is in perfect focus (I had downloaded the wrong pix-es: I accidentally grabbed the thumbnails on the site rather than the actual pix-es sized for my monitor); all running apps showing up on the one and same workspace was solved by disengaging the Desktop Effects (so the compiz bug is still there I guess - and see also a post from me to follow this one dealing with Gnome #3); and the bit about the most efficient mirrors for upgrade downloads is still open: earlier today I saw this 'mirrorbrain' at work and it picked some unknown site somewhere in the world, I not know where, as the most effiicient when I have one sitting only 'just around the corner' from me which I have been using for quite some time. So, the bottom line is: thank you all. (But now to have a rant about Gnome #3........ :'( .) BC -- "I believe what I am programmed to believe."
