panel is not actualkly a managed client (corner panels, drawers and
panel):) if it detects a gnome-compliant WM around.. :) Currently only
E 0.15 in CVs will be detected properly.. ICEWM is 90% of the way there
- needs to add about 5 lines of code (see gnome.c in CVS e source - 
GNOME_SetWMCheck();) for proper detection :)

I agree But well it is his app - the mroe broken - the more confused
people wil be wher thewy his "alt F1" to change back to desktop 0 and
