17.21: (Did this four days ago, forgot to document it) Found dotfiles.com (appears to be dead now) and trawled through various .emacs and .bashrc/.bash_profil. Added snippets of code to my .emacs (especially from http://www.dotfiles.com/files/6/466_dot-emacs) - documented in the file.
17.24; Still no update on the Desktop/-thing yet.
