I changed the resolution of my ydl5.0 to 1080p. That took some effort, but I finally got it right and it looks really good on the 61" TV. I was really excited when I saw everything worked as it should in my root account. I logged into my my other account and for some reason I can move the mouse over the entire screen, but there is a smaller region where the trash can, computer, and home folder icons are. I can't move them out of that smaller region. I can change the wallpaper for the entire screen, but the smaller region is on top of it. I fan also change the smaller region's wallpaper. It seems like some simple setting adjustment to stretch the smaller region to the size of the entire screen (and it probably is), but I've looked for hours now and I can't find it.

Help me Haxen (or other qualified linux user). You're my only hope.
