I, too, had some problems. I could make some of the changes and not others.
I'd make changes by hand, find out they weren't what I wanted, change them
again, and again, and again.
Then I found XFCE. Can't recall where I go it or anything. But, I once
found it on Yahoo (searching for xfce).
It was a piece of cake to set up, had the means to uninstall it if you
don't like it. Not too hard to figure out (printed the info pages anyway
for more esoteric things) and gave me exactly the type of things I wanted
to do.
The only thing it didn't do for me is set the proper permissions on files
so users could access them. Hey, I gotta do sumpthin'!!
If you search and can't find it, write back and I'll look for it on the
morrow (or actually later today in this timezone).
