I suppose I'll have to learn the specific GNOME equivalents of the
programs I know in KDE (actually, I can't even remember the name of that
CPU monitor program, I just right-clicked the Kicker panel and added it, and it's part of my KDE session ever since).
I'll have to give GNOME a more earnest test.


Right click on the GNOME panel, choose "Add to Panel...", choose "System
Monitor".


about your Skype issue - does it provide a Kicker applet or a notification
icon...?

Skype has this icon which tells you your on-line status ("on-line", "off-line", "busy" etc..) and you can click it to open the application's window. It seats in the kicker just like, e.g., the cpu monitor whereas under gnome it opened its own tiny window on the desktop.


Hrm, you may not have the notification area on your panel (it's on by
default in Ubuntu, but not in Debian).

Ah ok. I might give it another try sometime (I've removed gnome after the previous attempt, in wait for 2.8 in Testting before I try it again, even the GNOME people talk about how much 2.8 is "more complete" than the previosu versions so I though it might worth the wait).

Thanks,
