Ok, so heres the basics. I have an HP 8100+ CD-RW drive and basically,
every time I tried to access it, the desktop would crash (For around 15
minutes, and then come back) and basically the entire operating system
was sluggish and sometimes programs failed to start. Today I bought a
bog standard
Im using GNOME and I have un-expanded (is that a word?) the main taskbar
bit at the bottom. Now there are giant thick control bars so that i can
drag the taskbar around. Is there a way to remove these? I'd just like a
solid transparent bar at the bottom (Like MacOSX) for me to put programs
in.
