Dan,

Which desktop did you install and what application gave you the icon? I've 
done several Etch installs over the past couple of months without seeing 
that. I'm wondering if it's something new within the last month, or if you 
just installed an app that I haven't.

Like you, I think they've done a great job with the new installer but there is 
one feature that I don't care for and don't use--installing the desktop 
environment task. First, it installs Gnome by default whereas I prefer KDE 
and second, it installs everything up to and including the kitchen sink. I've 
learned to do a minimal install & then install the KDE apps seperately. I 
suspect that you selected the desktop environment and go a lot of Gnome 
applications that I never see.

Cheers!
