My root user is the only one who uses Gnome, but for the past couple of weeks, the Panel doesn't load on startup. I did a quick search last night on Deja at Google and found one entry that said to go to a shell and type "panel&" which I did and it did load the Panel. However, I would like to fix it so that it launches automatically on login. I also reviewed the Gnome Users Guide, but couldn't find anything about how to launch Panel, just how to use it. I search through lots of man pages, but wasn't immediately finding what I needed. By the way, is there a fast way to search through man pages in the GUI? Where is the Panel program located? Where do I tell Gnome to load it on startup? Thanks in advance for all your help! Jon Moss
