Thanks for the info, Derek. I just want ROX for the filer. I do use it as a desktop/session manager for my daughter, but to use certain window managers (like Metacity and fvwm4) I need GTK2.0 for those, too. For my purposes, my current setup is functional. But I will upgrade soon because I have really been bit by the customization bug! I hated the look of that ROX panel when I used it. Have you looked at idesk? Several people on the ROX list have mentioned. Some have said it's a pain to set up, but great once you've got it going properly. http://linuxhelp.hn.org/idesk.php Todd
