GNOME 2.13.3 does not work like that any more, the text here describes
the new behavior.

Oups, I need to stick a spellchecker in my workflow :)

Phew, I'm glad not to have spent my time needlessly.

When I connect a usb floppy, gnome-volume-manager adds it to fstab ;
if gnome volume manager is not enabled, I believe this section is true.

In GNOME 2.13.3, compiled with GARNOME under FC3, gnome-volume-manager
does not seem to be enabled by default, so I suppose this section is
correct, maybe, perhaps...

<btw> Fedora is not my distribution of choice, it's running in VMware
Player under Gentoo. It may not have been RPM hell to get it installed,
but it was painful for me, being used to portage. Has anybody got an
easy way to use GARNOME under Gentoo (a list of dependencies
would be nice) ?

It's the Clearlooks theme using Tango icons (http://tango-project.org/),
default for 2.13.3. However these icons are in development, I think all
screenshots should be redone closer to 2.14.

If you don't mind passing on the list, that would be a great help, as
I've continued making modifications since (there is nothing concerning
the file properties dialog in there yet...).

Thanks for all the advice !
