i am a consultant and looking to help companies make the switch from windows to linux, but i know that not knowing *easily* where an application was installed will stop newbies dead in their tracks...
i wonder if lindows or the new desktop manager that redhat created has this application icon feature...? still a big supporter of mandrake though! :)

I agree to some extent with you Anne...personally I don't use either Gnome or
KDE anymore but WindowMaker which I really love and like and there you always
need to dock the icon yourself on the desktop and there are no menus like in
KDE and Gnome.
Just some ranting
