Never saw both effects. I've seen occasionally GNOME apps crash
(ohmygawd, I hate crashing apps!), but never had panel "stuck". Saw it
crash (and instantly self-resurrected) once.

RH is almost always a release behind. And you are *two* releases of RH
behind. Count for yourself. You used ancient versions.

I happen to like AbiWord pretty much, though it lacks some important
features. Gnumeric is pretty useable (except that it lacks charts, I want
charts!). And I like GNOME just because it's so much prettier :) KDE
simulates Windows look (or Motif look), which is godawful ugly (both of
them, Motif even worse). And last time I looked there was not yet themes
support enough to change it. And don'tt tell me themes are slow. I want my
desktop to look pretty, if I spend 1/4 of my time looking on it.
