Seems to me that with the amount of room on the top panel, and the fact that a GNOME marketer started this thread, that this is a fine place to "advertise" some of the finer bits of free software available. My use case is a new user asking "what the [EMAIL PROTECTED] can GNOME do for ME?", AKA "But in <my old/current OS> I had program <foodeydang> to do <something>" My suggestions (in no particular order): * Music Player * Video Player * DVD/CD burner * DVD/CD ripper * Web Browser * File Browser * Mail Client * Chat Program * Image Viewer * Photo importer * Text editor or (if installed) Word Processor, Spreadsheet * Help (as per a recent thread to which I cannot find a link) It is my opinion that most users will do what I did and modify the panels to suit their needs. Even if I'm wrong, there sure is a lot of space in the top panel to provide for exploration. -- Karim Nassar _______________________________________________ Usability mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/usability
