[LUG] missing gthreadpackage / hiding desktop icons

 

Hi All,

Two questions:

1. Trying to install the mplayer plugin for Firefox. It's being a pain with dependencies and the current error says 'missing gthread package'. Where do I get it from please? I have Googled but all I can find are comments about other packages wanting it.
2.  I use Xandros 3.0 OCE and for reasons only known to itself it 
installed differently on my laptop from the desktop.  The problem is, on 
the laptop's desktop I have a load of icons for all my partitions which 
I do not want.  I'm assuming they are symlinks as they have a green 
arrow in the bottom corner, similar to the Windows arrow on a desktop 
shortcut.  I don't mind the removable media ones as they remind me I 
have a CD or USB stick in the machine.  The fixed ones I want to get rid 
of.  (As an aside the Home symlink seems to have died - any suggestions 
for ressurecting it?)
Kind regards,

Julian
