Many thanks for the rpm's. I had some evolution stored documents that I really needed. I've applied them to two systems. Is it possible that the gnome panel problem is only on CRT's and not LEDs? Seems like one of my systems fixed itself when I changed monitors. -- M Reynolds McClatchey Jr VP Engineering and Inventory Southern Aluminum Finishing Co Inc 404-355-1560 x222 Voice 1581 Huber St NW 404-350-0581 Fax Atlanta GA 30318
