Well, i feel bad about this one also, in gnome 1 i solved the problem by having a `sudo gshutdown` icon, but this is no more possible. I think the main problem is that you are not root, and so have no right to shudown the box. But still, if you are using the new 2.4 gdm (not yet in the archive though), you can configure it so it will autolog you in on the _first_ connection only, and when you log out, you have to wait to get gdm again, and then you can shutdown from the system menu in gdm. > Why is there a little bit of space left on the bottom of a maximized Gnome > Terminal? Other apps maximize properly. This is the same with every terminal emulator, and will depend on your metacity theme. The reason is that you get only a integer number of lines, so if the bottom bit is not enough to do a line, then it will not be used. That said, this is not really convenient. I use the atlanta theme, and have this little space on both sides and on the bottom, and maybe a space one pixel wide or so on the left. When i click there for selecting text or pasting it, it will often open nautilus, so it would be real nice if the metacity theme would fill these places with empty space. That said, i guess it is easy enough to do it by modifying the themes. Friendly, Sven Luther
