so this 2.10 thing seems confusing from a user perspective.  some
things have either moved, transmogrified, or disappeared.  i have
-fifth-toe, -power-tools, and -office installed, but ...

  o i can't seem to find a biff for the panel.  inbox monitor 
    seems to have disappeared or something, and addtopanel offers
    nothing obvious to replace it.

  o the wireless applet seems to have changed to some sort of
    useless flashing pixmap of a screen.  where did the signal
    strength meter, an ever so useful device, go?

  o i still have not figured out how to get my own separate
    custom application menu back.  see just to the right of the
    main menu foot in
       <http://rip.psg.com/~randy/panel.jpg>
    for my 2.8 panel section.  sorry, i could not figure out how
    to take a screenshot while the hierarchic menu folder was
    open.

and totem now smacks me when i try to play a vcd, whining 
"OSS device "/dev/dsp" is already in use by another program."
when nothing is using sound that i can see.

    # lsof | grep -i dsp
    # lsof /dev/dsp
    #
