No window manager duties are performed by GNOME. This leads to an annoying fact under GNOME: You have two kinds of themes! There are window manager themes, which enlightenment is in charge of, and widget themes, which GNOME/GTK is in charge of. A right click on the desktop should (?) get you a menu that you can change the enlightenment theme with. The GNOME themes can be accessed through the main GNOME menu (the foot), then select the control panel. It's been a while since I used GNOME, but there may also be a way to access the window manager theme through the GNOME control panel. As for those extra panels, I'm assuming you mean the icon box and desktop panels. Right clicking on their title bars or frames should bring up a menu that you can use to close them. Then if you save the session, when you exit, they will not come up again. David To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
