Right click the Panel and look in the Panel menu. There's a Global something-or-other in there. Otherwise, check the Panel tab in the Panel section of the GNOME Control Center.

Aaron is correct. Nautilus does draw the desktop. Run Nautilus and open the Options dialog. There is an option in there that tells the Big "N" to draw the desktop. Its very poorly implemented so keep in mind that, for a reason I have never been able to determine, the option may not be available.

Either right click on the Panel and go to Panel > Add > Launcher and then enter the appropriate info, go to Panel > Add > From Menu and select an app from the list, or find it in gmc or Nautilus and drag it on. I've generally found the last to be the slowest as I'm not always able to intuit where the packagers decided it should go. HTH :) Hope I'm accurate ;P _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list - http://linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Archives,and Digests are located at the above URL.
