freebsd 4.7-stable, installing from ports tree

general

  o do i need to install gnome as well as gnome2?  or will
    installing gnome2 and both applet sets be sufficient?  this
    seems to be ok.

gnome-session

  o can i start a single app, e,g, ssh-add, and after it completes,
    and only after it completes, then start a bunch of windows?

panel

  o how do i put the appended small script into a swallowed
    application?  i really need multi-timezone clocks.

  o how do i keep the workspace sub-panel from moving and dropping
    desktops, especially if some are unused?  i really want them
    all in a fixed 3x4 pattern.

  o how do i arrange the little icons within a mini-launcher?

  o how can i have two mini-launchers in the same panel but with
    different content?

starfish

  o how do i cause an opening window to extend to the bottom of the
    screen, a la button-3 in tvtwm?

nautilus

  o how do i set a background color and pattern that applies to all
    folders?
