Anyone using Gnome 2.10? I'm considering unmasking it, but ATM I don't have the patience to fix any problems - should they occur.

Ubuntu Hoary Preview Release comes with Gnome 2.10, not had any probs so far (fingers crossed)

:blush:  Yeah i'm still new to Linux so I'll make sure I won't log into root again. 

As for the red hat icon... That was there when I updated from FC2 to FC3... I haven't actually done any customizations.. Still trying to get everything I need to work.

Don't worry we will make very certain that you will NOT get flamed here for being a noob! The one thing that I appreciate the most about Ubuntu, aside from teh good distro, is the forum community's willingness to be helpful and not condescending.

Remeber there are no stupid questions, only stupid people... uh, wait that didn't come out right. ;)

^^^ I think that he means to change some options in the config file. At least, that is how I make changes to fluxbox's look and operation.

wallpaper?

This is my attempt at porting "SystemGClassic", a metacity theme by hornett, to openbox. I'm using the clearlooks-indubstrial GTK theme here, and I decided to change away from using pypanel to fbpanel, which can give me just a system tray and pager and nothing else (nice).

Which config file? lol!

You'd need to edit your .fvwm2 config file for that. Are you even using FVWM? If not, you won't be able to do that at all ;)

FVWM is a window manager. You're using gnome, not FVWM... You can't get the same effect (vertical titlebars) in gnome.

[g-n-t]

what happens if oyu type in

fvwm --replace

in gnome. can you still get them? and what good are vertical titles anyway?
