Some of the above might be considered rather important. One thing still works though. You can run Icon.app remotely on a 2.1 machine, and send the display to your 3.0 screen. Scene I haven't fully tested yet. I only used scene for putting images in the background, and this fails under 3.0. There *is* a public domain app called Background on the archives, and this comes with a command line utility that does what Scene used to do, so as far as I was concerned, not too big a loss. -me
