The
GNOME
Desktop
2.1.3
The Panel
The panel contains the window icons of all started applications in the taskbar. If
you click the name of a window in the taskbar, it is moved to the foreground. If
the program is already in the foreground, a mouse click minimizes it. Clicking a
minimized application reopens the respective window.
Beside the taskbar, the ‘Workspace Switcher’ provides access to additional work
areas. These virtual desktops provide extra space in which to arrange open appli-
cations and windows. For example, put an editor on one workspace, some shells
on another, and your e-mail application and web browser on a third.
If you right-click an empty spot in the panel, a menu opens, offering help, infor-
mation, and commands for GNOME and panels. Select ‘Properties’ to open a con-
figuration dialog in which to change the position and background of the panel.
If desired, create additional panels or add launchers, tools, and various applets
to the existing panels with ‘Add to Panel’. Use drawers to organize your favorite
applications or important documents. The contents are only displayed when the
drawer is opened with a single click. Right-click the drawer and select ‘Proper-
ties’ to modify its size and appearance. Click the icon to change it. Remove panel
elements by right-clicking the respective icons and selecting ‘Remove’.

The Main Menu
Open the main menu by means of the icon to the far left of the panel. Apart from
the applications, which are organized in categories, find default functions, such
as ‘Log out’ and ‘Lock screen’. Use ‘Open Recent’ to gain quick access to recent
files. Use ‘Search for Files’ to find files.
With ‘Run Program ...’, enter and run a command, for example, for starting a pro-
gram instead of navigating through the various program menus. From the main
menu, you can also start the ‘GNOME Control Center’ for configuring the desk-
top or YaST for installing additional software.
