It wasn't, but it was incommodious to do it, now GDM and all WMs/ DEs 
are using the same wanted resolution. Running e17 I launched 'sudo 
displayconfig-gtk' and edited the wanted settings, then I logged out and 
the settings become broken. I started a GNOME session, the settings were 
still broken. Running 'sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf' and for three 
lines changing only the broken resolution, to the wanted resolution, did 
the trick. There were 3 lines with wrong data, 'modeline', 'Virtual' and 
'Modes'. The problem is, that Ubuntu's xorg.conf doesn't look by default 
like a common xorg.conf and after a reconfiguration by 
'displayconfig-gtk' it only will be fine for one session, for following 
sessions the settings will be broken and can't be set by 
'displayconfig-gtk' any more.

I found themes at http://exchange.enlightenment.org/theme, but had no 
time to install a new theme.

Thank you Robin :) in addition to installing and then launching by user 
'gconf-editor', by apps > nautilus > desktop unchecking 'volumes 
visible' by a GNOME session, I did what you mentioned. Then I run a 
GNOME session again and as user 'rm ~/Desktop/*' to delete an invalid 
'HOME' link, a going '/tmp' link and a going '/' link.

Everything is fine now, as soon as possible I'll set up my e17 SVN 
installation.

Cheers,
Ralf
