Yes you can. I did it and it works... Please, people, do a bit of Googling from time to time, it can be a healthy activity :-) To control the panels in the fallback mode you have to press "Alt" key while right-clicking over it and then you can add the old applets to there and set its properties, as always. > I like to have a single panel at the bottom of the screen with a few > useful things on it.

If it does not work, I would open a bug report. Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
