I'm not sure if gnome-session starts things up in parallel, but if it doesn't just go to gnome-session-properties, add the program and give an early start order (I think that means setting it's start number to zero, not sure though.) > o why does it take soooooo long to start? it seems to be in > gnome-login.check for many minutes It shouldn't. Historically problems like this tend to be network-related. i.e., gnome can't resolve names or something.

However I was told recently that gnome1 applets work in the gnome2 panel. If that is true, the you should be able to get it to work by installign the mini-launcher applet and running it. One quazi-solution would be to have two thin panels stacked up next to eachother. > o presuming i solve the above and get a mini-launcher a la > gnome1, how do i re-arrange the little icons within it?

I'm not sure if mini-launchers support that. > o where the heck did GNotes go? Not sure. I know there are postit notes programs for gnome2, though.

For most WMs, alt+drag is a default "move" action. (Alt+middle-drag is often resize and alt+right-click gives the window's option menu.) > o when i ask to maximize, on one system it does as expected, use > the full window. on another, it does not like to cover other > windows.
