I just started using Linux about 10 days ago. Discovered I far prefer Gnome to KDE. I currently have Ubuntu-6 on my Compaq R3240 and it rocks! However, there are three icons on the desktop. One is the CD/DVD drive, and the other two are partitions on a removable external USB drive. I hate icons on my desktop. I'd like to move these to the panel on the top of the screen (I deleted the panel on the bottom). But when I try to do so they won't go there. The mouse cursor icon shows a + sign, but nothing happens and they stay on the desktop. How do I get them off my desktop? Sorry if this is a stupid newbie question. I looked at all the documentation I could find and nothing addressed this issue. _______________________________________________ gnome-list mailing list gnome-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-list
