Description Dennis Schridde 2010-01-30 16:19:25 UTC

Version:           4.4_rc2 / 4.3.95 (using Devel)
Compiler:          gcc 4.4.2 Gentoo 4.4.2 p1.0
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

The destinction between the "Desktop" and "Appearance" systemsetting modules is certainly not clear. I always have to guess where to search and often enough I choose wrongly.
Most prominent examples are desktop effects and screensaver. I do not understand why they are specific to the "desktop"...
Desktop effects deal with a lot more than just what the average user might see as the desktop. It's window animation and transparency and all such things.
