Maybe there was some meaning to those better educated than me: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/palimpsest?s=t noun 1. a parchment or the like from which writing has been partially or completely erased to make room for another text. Beats the heck out of me. Maybe they though it was a fun word. Or they thought they were being funny: UNIX programmers do that on occasion. (I know I do that occasionally: "Cowardly exiting -- bummer dude!") -T -- ~~ Computers are like air conditioners. They malfunction when you open windows ~~

I'm not sure, depends on desktop environment you use o.o I believe in gnome2 you could right-click panel and pick "add application" or something. Isn't it in normal application menu? It should be, as it has proper .desktop file (somewhere in System category). I don't use gnome desktop on any EL6 system so I can't help with precise instructions sorry. -- Vladimir
