[Xplanet-development] xplanet usage

[Offer K. <of...@ne...>]

Hi,
I've just downloaded xplanet-0.93.tar.gz, and tried to install it using the 
following procedure (BTW, I'm using Mandrake 8.1 on an i586 machine, KDE, 
sawfish):
First, I opened the tarball and did (as user, not root):
./configure ; make
This seemed to work fine, but when I tried using xplanet
(xplanet -image earth.jpg), the picture of planet earth appeared over all of 
my desktops, so that I could not see my desktop icons. I also did not see a 
way to kill it, short of logging out and then logging back in.
So, my questions are:
1. Did I do the installation procedure okay, or should I have done something 
else?
2. How can I make xplanet appear *under* my desktop icons?
3. How can I stop it from running, once it has started?

Thanks,
Offer
