To prevent just exactly these sorts of problems, I install gconf-editor on all of my computers and lock the panel by running gconf-editor and setting apps-panel-global-locked_down to true. If you need to change the panel again in the future, just set that value back to false, make your change, and lock it again. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Real D 3D Digital Cinema ~ www.melvilletheatre.com www.creekfm.com - FIFTY THOUSAND WATTS of POW WOW POWER!
