The first two question are gnome-specific. I would point you to http://gnomesupport.org/forums/ 1. I will tell you that sometimes there are windows associated to applications that do not appear in the tasklist and I not sure why. I would be curious to hear the answer on that. 2. Very rarely do I do this but usually if you want to refresh the menu which is connected to the panel I go to Actions --> Run Program and type in killall gnome-panel and that does it. Due to a very contorted issue with cross-compatibility with KDE menus and a host of other issues Gnome in RH8 shipped without menu editing enabled. I hate this. If this is a single user desktop box, I would suggest doing this. chmod -R o-w ~/.gnome2/vfolders chmod -R o-w ~/.gnome2/panel.d This is saying to the system that anybody can write to those folders so anybody can customize the menu. This is not the same as in other more stock versions of Gnome where each user can customize the menu and their entries only impact their own desktop. This means that user A can screw up user B's custom settings so that is why I suggest it only for a single-user desktop machine. That being said how do you edit them? Click Start-Here go into Applications and right click and you will an option Create Launcher. You can also right click on entries and edit them. 3. I have to admit I am unsure about updating the entire distro to a new version with up2date. Never tried it and probably never will. I like having the CDs. -- Johnathan Bailes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
