Edge-flipping and Gnome menu.

[inDigital]

I have recetly upgraded to RedHat 8.0 and there are two things that really are starting to get under my skin. First, there is no edge flipping. In other words, I cannot move my mouse cursor/window to the edge of the screen to switch virtural desktops. This was always a great feature of most Linux distros but now it is nowhere to be found in RH8.

The other thing is the apparent crippling of the menus. I can't add/remove from the Gnome menu, nor can I make my own menu. What is up with that? Even Windows 3.1 let you do this.

Please, someone tell me I am wrong and point me towards the light!

your first ?. Go to GNOME Control Center and it is an option! I have GNOME 1.4 so you might have a different version but there should be an option. Look EVERYWHERE!

This is how I did it. I am using sawfish as a window manager. I went to the Gnome control center. I then clicked on the sawfish window manager tab. When that opened I went to the workspaces icon it is in there. under the edge flipping tab at the top. I hope this helps...but it is in there you have to do some looking though. Good Luck!

I'm pretty sure that the no GUI to edit GNOME's menus is a GNOME 2.0 issue, not a RedHat issue. I've tried GNOME 2 under RedHat and SuSE, and neither had GUI's to edit the menus. Looks like you have to edit .desktop files manually in order to edit the menus.
