HELP -- Desktop Panel Shortcut Key??

[roccoman]

I'm trying to make a keyboard shortcut (example Alt+T) that will pull down a desktop panel that was hidden due to the AutoHide option (http://home.tampabay.rr.com/roccoma.../Screenshot.jpg ). Then when you release the Shortcut it will Hide the panel again (AutoHide).(http://home.tampabay.rr.com/roccoma...creenshot-1.jpg )

I don't know if this is scripting or if it can even be done. Gimme feedback, thanks

MUST COPY PASTE LINKS INTO BROWSER, my host does not support image hosting.

I have RedHat Linux 8.0 running GNOME

Commonnn, noone knows the answer to this?

it's not a very simple request.
you either have to
a) dig through the source code for the panel and see if you can add the shortcut option there.
b) see if the gnome panel hints contain the autohide option and write a program that collects the keystroke and unhides the panel.

i don't know of an easy way to do this. maybe there is...

How would I be able to access a list of running applications, and how would I get the src for the panels...

I appreciate all your help, I'm slowly fading away from the Windoze world ^^

you can download the source code for all of gnome including the panel at http://www.gnome.org

i'll have to get back to you on the processes. i haven't had my coffee yet. :D
