I inadvertantly put an item on the top bar and cannot remove it. I found a help instruction which said right click on the item, then click on delete. This does not work. Right clicking on the item opens a window with two items: launch and properties. There is no delete option. Note: I have just recently starting using gnome, first gnome 2 on squeeze and then gnome 3 after upgrading to wheezy. I find gnome 3 a very attractive rearrangement of gnome 2 but cannot find two needed apps. One forced the system to stay awake and one which would kill any program which was not responding. Also a mystery. Apparently years ago I tried gnome but decided to use icewm instead and continued with icewm until just a month ago. One of the reasons I abandoned my early use of gnome was that when it timed out it would not accept my password to restart. Instead I had to click on switch user which then accepted my user name and password. I posted a message about this recently but have never had a response that solved the problem. A second mystery. When I click on Places one of the options is a directory Home Improvements. This is apparently a residue of that very early attempt to use gnome. It is, of course, one of the subdirectories of my home directory but not one that I need very often. I would remove it from the Places list but I am unable to find where it is called out for inclusion in the Places list. I would appreciate any help with these problems, Tom _______________________________________________ gnome-list mailing list gnome-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-list
