    ah well
    acer default (linpus lite), had already modified it a bit, with firefox & thunderbird icon in the connect area and removing acr and IM
    then
    i had a problem with the firefox 2.0.0.8
    a blank page always came up in the browser, not the home page, etc.
    about:config did not solve it.

    i uninstalled it using "pirut"
    i am now left with no visible desktop, winge.
    only the searchbar is visible and the taskbar .
    i can get to a terminal, by using the search bar "desktop choice" and then clicking the executable in the file manager which comes up.
    typing into the searchbar at the "internet choice", brings up the re-installed firefox 2.0

    can bring up thunderbird with the terminal, but the mail account is gone.
    cmd xfce-setting-show in a terminal doesn't work.
    how can I get the desktop back to work?
    thanx
