I'd like to get rid of the icons on my desktop, because all I use them for is to mount my various media. There was a KDE util included in the Maroon Toque distro that sat in the "system tray" and kept track of mounting and unmounting drives. I can't find this in SuSE. Do I need to install another package? Is there a new program that does this, but is called something else?

Thanks, dk Maybe a diiferent window manager. I like blackbox

I have had pretty good luck with the KDE app kwickdisk. It will sit in the system tray and allow you to mount and unmount shares and drives listed in the fstab. On Tue, 2003-06-03 at 13:22, David Krider wrote:
