Good advise, and thanks for the reply. I'll wait. I setup my desktop box with compiz and it has got to be the slickest desktop I have ever seen. One more question. I have seen a "side-panel" for compiz similar to the vista side panel, but I can't find it in the compiz manager. Do you know what it is called and where I can find it? -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.
