I'm currently editing the look of my desktop and I need some inspiration so who better to look to than the INTERNET! please post screen-shots of your desktops and your favourite program running in them.

Sure, this is Jaunty 9.04 x64...I'm using a gnome panel at the bottom in place of a real 'dock'.

Mine is attached.

BTW, every month there are huge threads with lots of people posting their desktops, you can find very nice ones there (that's where I've found that clock I'm using).

The second image shows how I used stacks to create shortcuts for OpenOffice.

I would suggest going to Obnoxious October 2009 Screenshot Thread (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1279429). You'll find lots of desktop pictures there.
