Hi. I'm using Kubuntu 6.06 and I was wondering if there was some way to disable the "Switch User" button when you lock the session. Thanks - Akamad 14:46, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Can anybody tell me what mountain is featured in the Windows XP desktop background known as "Ascent"? Many thanks, Mike Harris. 213.131.125.106 18:07, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
Why do the call it Mt. Rainier ? ...because, being near Seattle, it's rainier than the other mountains. :-) StuRat 04:36, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
But remember that it's pronounced like Mount Rain-ear.
Captain George Vancouver reached Puget Sound in 1792 and became the first European to see the mountain. He named it in honour of his friend, Rear Admiral Peter Rainier. Todd Armstrong 08:47 1 January 2008 (UTC)
I think it is actually Mount Baker, not Mount Rainier. The shape of Mount Rainier is very distinctive from any angle, and the ascent photo doesn't match. Plus, Mount Baker has some distinctive foothills (which you see in the lower left of the Ascent image). Frank Benson 22 July 2008.
In the GIMP, is it possible to have a layer with a transparent background, and add a fully opaque layer (for example, a JPG photograph) on top of that so that the transparent pixels stay transparent, but the non-transparent pixels get their colours from the new layer? Or is it possible to "substract" a layer with a transparent background from a layer with an opaque background, so that the "substracted" pixels would become transparent?

Layer → Mask → Add mask...
and then select Layer alpha
and click OK. Now activate the opaque layer, choose Layer → Mask → Add mask...
and proceed with whatever settings there are. Go to the transparent layer's mask (by clicking it in the layer list), Ctrl+A Ctrl+C
, then go to the opaque layer's mask, Ctrl+V
. Anchor the mask, and you're done. –mysid☎ 21:01, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
