I always found it very useful with 7.2 and 8.0; used to have it in 9; and have it again in FC1, which makes me miss it the more on the machine still running shrike. I can't tind a way to turn it on -- if it's off. It may just be misconfigured: whenever I rebot, both panels turn pure black, and I have to go into properties to restore a background against which I can see my launchers. What do I do to fix it? I want to run shrike yet a while, on my backup desktop, till FC2 is mature (i.e., about the time FC3 comes out; I'm no technoid, alas!) -- Beartooth Implacable, curmudgeonly codger learning linux Work is for people who can't hunt. -- Shrike-list mailing list Shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list
