There
are a few other button besides the Main Menu Button that will come
in handy as you work with GNOME:
- Just to the right
of the Main Menu Button is a button with a picture of a question
mark. This button will launch the help utility.
- The next button shows
a picture of a toolbox. When clicked it will launch the GNOME
configuration tool which is used to change the way your GNOME
system behaves.
- Right next to the
Control center button is a button that looks like the GNOME foot
in front of a monitor. This will launch a terminal program (which
gives you access to the command line).
- To the right of the
terminal button is usually a button that will launch Netscape
Navigator, a popular web browser.
- Next to that is a
small, square area that is divided into four smaller squares.
These squares depict the four desktops that are available to you
for running applications. Each desktop can have its own applications
running that are not displayed in the other desktops. This is
useful for keeping your environment neat and organized.
- Next to the desktop
switcher are two small buttons, one on top of the other. The one
on top (with the up arrow) displays a list of open windows, selecting
a window from this list will bring it to the foreground. The one
on bottom (with a picture of a question mark) launches the GNOME
Pager Settings utility that you can use to change the way applications
are displayed in the Pager.
- The large area next
to the two smaller buttons is the Pager, where active applications
are displayed.
