Evan, thanks so much for that suggestion. I didn't know about that in GNOME. Unfortunately, it didn't work exactly to solve my problem. Holding down Alt while dragging inside the window allows me to move it side-to-side, so it seems like it's working as you describe. However, it won't allow me to move it up above the bottom edge of the top panel, so I still can't move it up enough to reach the buttons on the bottom.
Thanks, anyhow, for trying to help and for teaching me a new trick. I appreciate your response. -Kevin On Thu, 2008-09-18 at 21:21 -0400, Evan Charlton wrote: > Kevin, > > As a workaround, you could press Alt then click/drag anywhere in the > window.
