I have noticed that the xfce4 panels can be moved around easily, but the gnome ones don't seem to do this. However at present I have moved both gnome panels to the 'top' when they are happy to sit, one higher than the other, so that both are visible. Having selected the 'dock' setting the ROX panel now appears at the bottom of the screen OK when I use 'rox -S'. I also now 'roll up' the gnome panel that shows minimised items to get it out of the way. This all allows me access to gnome for now whilst I setup ways to access the things I want via ROX. One extra puzzle relates to a backdrop. I've been using a png as a gnome backdrop [1]. This was previously happy to stay visible when I ran ROX. But after the above changes it vanished when I opened a fullscreen FireFox window. Fixed this by also telling ROX to use the same image as backdrop. Curious though that it used to stay visible, but now gnome's version vanishes. Thanks again. Slainte, Jim [1] The image is a scan of the front of an old 'Eagle' comic as the Dan Dare artwork is nice and colourful. :-) -- Electronics http://www.st-and.ac.uk/~www_pa/Scots_Guide/intro/electron.htm Armstrong Audio http://www.audiomisc.co.uk/Armstrong/armstrong.html Audio Misc http://www.audiomisc.co.uk/index.html |
