[QUOTE="vansmith, post: 1241660, member: 71075"] Odd. If I kill Finder from the command line, it automatically reopens. I hadn't realized that there was an option to quit Finder altogether. It would appear that [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartz_Compositor"]Quartz Compositor[/URL] (aka. WindowServer) that is the windowing system. So my last statement is technically incorrect but would you want to use OS X with no open instance of Finder? I'm actually surprised that you still have a wallpaper - something other than Finder (WindowServer?) must be responsible for it. That's expected - the Desktop is a "Finder window" so to speak.
