Desktop window behavior options

To change the behavior of desktop windows, double-click on the Desktop Behavior icon in the Preferences Editor.

You can configure the following:

Save on close: sets whether or not you are prompted to save changes made to the desktop window before you close it
Default desktop display mode: specifies whether icons are displayed as images or names
Desktop opening display method: if you change the way icons are displayed in a desktop window from the View menu, specifies whether future desktop windows display icons the same way (``Always inherit'') or display according to the value set in the ``Default desktop display mode'' field (``Never inherit'')
Desktop traversal mode: determines if opening a new desktop reuses the current window, or displays a new window
