There is more than one way you can to this, but basically you either make a link to a .desktop file, the files used to launch graphical applications, or copy the file it self from /usr/share/applications to your desktop. You can even sym link directly to an executable. I think what Kendell was

And how did you add your own network? This should be easy. Did you not remove the mate bottom panel, and perhaps relocate the top panel to the bottom? You can only read one panel, and it will be the last installed. Put all your icons and applets on the same panel, and things work as they

Are you sure you can't add your own desktop items? I don't recall how I did it, but I have a few desktop icons that I know I created myself in Gnome 3. I also don't have any problem removing a drive. I just find the icon for the drive on the desktop, hit the applications key and then arrow

Hi, With the exception of not being able to connect to hotspots other than my own router, I like Mate very much. This inability with Orca is indeed frustrating. In Gnome, one could access the top panel and locate available networks and connect. If anyone has found a way to do this with Mate, I

hi Being objective is a little difficult, since I've switched back to mate, but i'll give it a shot. Hear goes. Gnome is great if you don't want to have a customized panel with different applets on it. The gnome panel is set and can't be changed easily. It requires an extension or gsettings keys

I prefer Gnome myself. I like the dash, being able to add items to my favorites and the top bar to get to settings and things. That being said, I run Mate on my netbook since the interface is simpler and a bit less CPU and memory intensive. Mate also has the same look and feel as the old Gnome
