Re: keystrokes for gnome menus

[Thomas Ward <tward1978 earthlink net>]

Hi Michael,
To open the Gnome main panel menu, the start menu, use alt+f2. Note, if 
you don't like alt+f2 and later wish to change it to be control+escape 
it can be done in your Gnome settings.
I highly recommend reading the good Gnome documents at gnome.org. It 
will give you all the hot keys you need to get started in Gnome.
