GNome Edit Panels, How To?


I cannot figure out how in Fedora + Gnome to edit the main drawer or any of the drawers that I created for that matter. I would like to move the icons to different folders and so forth hopefully by dragging and dropping. KDE offers this, does GNome not? I am sure I can dig through the filesystem and edit the files, but there has got to be some kind of GUI program to edit the menu structure.

I am finding when searching the net there was something out there, did redhat remove this feature from fedora?

Oh, one other question. I have gotten so used to KDE with Suse. I could not change the width of the panel in GNOME, in KDE I had it set to 80%, is this possible in GNOME?

Your help is appreciated.

This is a question that has been flying around forums for quite a while. For some reason, Gnome is installed by default with menu-editing disabled (The theory being that if you can't figure out how to enable it, you shouldn't be messing with your menu because you might screw things up to the point that RPMS cannot automatically put their stuff in the menu)

Though I can't remeber where it is, there is a conf that controls this and in the same directory is another vesrion with .withmenu-editing at the end. replace that conf with the default conf and it should work..... should.

Personally I got pissed off with both and use either blackbox or enlightenment

I think it is /etc/gnome-vfs-2.0/modules/default-modules.conf.with-menu-editing. With the older version of nautilus you could navigate to applications:/// and drag and drop your applications to where you want them to be. You still can, but the only way I have seen is to start nautilus from command line and specify applications:/// as the destination after you replaced the modules file.

This is something that has pissed me off also, but whatever.
