Ahh. Ok. That makes more sense. You basicly want transparent text labels
on desktop icons. I forget which version of Gnome comes with RedHat 6.0,
but I suspect it's somewhat out of date. You might want to try going to
Ximian.com and getting a newer version of gnome. I forget which version
of GMC (Gnome Midnight Commander--the file manager) supports transparent
text on the desktop, but there is one that does.
