I just downloaded yelp - thanks for the tip and wish me luck.

Two other oddities... it's weird that you can't run "gaim" from a gnome-terminal but can run it from MainMenu then "Run program," most likely because you are stuck in the confines of the terminal window? and the second oddity is that right-clicking the MainMenu doesn't have an option such as Properties or Edit. Grrr. PS - I think I just determined that all this time that I thought I was running MetaCity I may actually have been running SawFish!
