It's the GNOME GUI which is launched by "startx". I had earlier tried creating a Launcher on the Desktop as shown by the link below : http://www.yolinux.com/TUTORIALS/GNOME.html#SHORTCUTS but after clicking OK, the launcher icon just did not show up on the Desktop Also, after exiting the GNOME GUI (pressed Alt-F4) & relaunch the GNOME (ie enter "startx" at the text-based console), the task bars on the top & bottom are not there anymore. How can I restore those task bars? -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
