Re: GNOME 0.20
If you go digging through the v0.20 directions on the gnome website, you'll be shown to add the following statement's to your xwindow's startup file. Here's how I've modified my /etc/X11/Xsession: # the following lines are added to startup GNOME: background-properties --init keyboard-properties --init mouse-properties --init panel # the following is at the very end of Xsession - unmodified ! if [ -x $startup ] grep -q ^allow-user-xsession /etc/X11/config; then exec $startup else xterm -ls if [ -e /etc/X11/window-managers ]; then for i in `sed 's/#.*//' /etc/X11/window-managers`; do if [ -x $i ]; then exec $i fi done fi exec twm fi On 02-Aug-98 Richard L.

The apps are working fine (e.g. Eeyes, gnome-help-browser) Thanks in advance. You can run gnome-session, which will automatically launch some programs. You can then save your X session with the save-session command; but it will only work on child processes of gnome-session that are session aware. Try: windowmanager exec gnome-session in you .Xsession. You can also run 'panel' on its own if you want. I don't know if the Gnome Debian packages have 'gmc'. There is also an intro to Gnome document that may be installed - try loading the help browser. There will be a new Gnome release next week, I don't know how long it will take to get Debian-packaged. It should have a lot of enhancements and bugfixes. Havoc -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null

It's my 1st time running gnome. It's not a taskbar, but it's everything else! :-) Someday maybe it will be a taskbar. Right now it is basically a launcher to run programs. You can use it in either start-menu style (a menu of stuff to launch) or icon-style (icons you single-click to launch programs). Or both. It also swallows applications and has applets that do various little things. For example there's a CPU load applet, and a desktop pager applet if your window manager supports it, and some fun applets like Wanda the fish and a sliding tiles game. The latest version to be released this week has several different modes, one spans the whole screen, one shrinks to fit the contained applets. You can have as many panels as you want and you can have panels that fold into other panels (drawers). You can end up with a panel full of panels that themselves contain panels etc. until you run out of screen space - compeletely useless, but pretty fun.
