Hi All, I was going to ask a Gnome question but I RTFM first (Ubuntu
Hacks) and managed to figure out my problem. (wanted single click in Gnome)
The manual was only somewhat helpful. It got me in the right area but
what it told me to do didn't agree with what I saw on the screen. This
reminded me of problems I have had with trying to do stuff with Linux.
I've followed instructions to the letter using information on the distro
I was using and it would not work or would give me a cryptic error. (at
least cryptic to a noob) This can be pretty discouraging when you're
just starting out. Actually it's discouraging any time 'cause it makes
you feel like you don't have a clue. I can imagine what someone more
clueless than I (there are probably a few) feels when they are told to
RTFM, they do, and it doesn't work. :-(   (BTW, I'm not talking about
you guys/gals as I haven't seen this on RLUG that I can remember)

Part of what brought this mini-rant on is the fact that I had figured
this out (single click thing) several versions back and now they have
moved settings around and buried my setting where I couldn't find it.
This isn't only a Gnome problem, KDE, Windows, and probably  a lot of
others do this also. It would be cool if when they did this  they would
include a readme telling you where to go  ;-)  It's kinda frustrating
when you're not too sure what you're doing in the first place.

CLIP......

Anyway, the list *has* been quite quiet lately. I've been pretty busy
the las three weeks and I've also been trying to get a Linux distro to
record music. I should probably start with a simpler project.
L8ter.......Wayne
