Forst having to look for a bit of free background isn't really
convenient to me, not the least because I tend to run many programs
maximized ;-). I always found it a bit cumbersome to first look for free
background or having to use the "hide all windows" button, then to click
somewhere on the background to mount/umount CD-ROMs, USB sticks and the
like. Now I use the Disk Mounter applet (Add to Panel->Utility->Disk
Mounter) and this really cuts it, i.e. to mount/umount I always click on
the same location of my desktop.
