That's gotta be the best looking desktop I've ever seen..and I've seen
alot! How big is your monitor by the way?
Also, have you had any problems having the pager swallowed up by wharf
once you upgraded your AS? I have 1.4.5.55N6 and even though I did
everything you suggested in,
http://wormhole.eosys.com/mail-archives/afterstep/9805/msg00313.html,
which you gave explicit instructions as to how to have the pager swallowed
up. I did virtually every combinations of the steps, especially in Part
2, and it still's a no go. I think that's why my backgrounds aren't
showing up either :( Below are some snippets of my wharf and pager files.
Would you be so kind as to take a look at them and perhaps make necessary
corrections? Thank you so much in advance.

and so on....can you spot any careless mistakes? Sorry for getting you to
do my work for me...but I honestly could say I spent over 5 hours trying
to get it to work...
