<p dir="ltr">I may have my original CDE disk buried somewhere. I found my redhat 4.2 I bought and installed after getting sick of win nt 3.51 crashing hourly.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The desktop I want back was tkdesktop. Written in tcl/tk and sporting a very 3D look, it was a view of an office with desk, file drawers, cabinet, phone. Directories were literally manila, 3 tab folders. Click to open and see sheets of typed paper for text documents, table sheets for spreadsheets (sc was the default) and more folders. Click a drawer to open it, the drag (wireframe) of folder to drawer to put away.</p>

With chrome on one and tabbed xterm on another that should work. When either are maximized there is no clock. I never realized how often I check my clock. I tried xclock, but there seems to be no option to pin it. I could pin it to the lower right if I could.</div><div><br></div><div>One solution on the left panel could be to simple resize Chrome and then I'll see those icons on the desktop. Problem is that only programs that are minimized have those. Amazingly Google is light on sources. It may be odd, but I may have better luck finding one to compile in my attic tha on Google.
