Thank you. I guess I'll just have to rebuild and throw away the last CD.
I think its a little odd that its impossible to open the desktop folder in a
window without switching to single window mode. I'm sure I've done it
before, but then again I always use single window mode...
I did try to open a terminal when Tracker died, but it failed to open. It
didn't even show on the Deskbar.
