Remove Handles from Gnome Panel


I have recently switched to Gnome from KDE and I was wondering if this is possible. ..

First thing is first, is there anyway to get rid of those annoying minimize/maximize animations without having to completely recompile gnome?

Secondly, I have a small panel at the bottom of my screen with autohide on, I use it to just put links to stuff I use a lot (terminal, xmms, firefox, gaim, etc) so I can just click them there... however I was wondering if there is anyway to stop the panel from displaying the "Move Handles" (The little blocks that are normally the hide left/right buttons) without having to have the panel expand the entire width of the screen?

Thanks in advance,
-paco

Normally, you do this by going into the menues and opening the preferences for the panel. On RH8.0 that would be: "RH-button->Preferences->Look & Feel->Panel". It's going to be somewhat distribution-specific as to what the menus are called but the above ought to get you close enough to figure it out. I know this option is available on SuSE's KDE and Gnome window managers but I know the menu options aren't what I described above. Bottom line: you can do this.

Thanks for the reply,
I am running Fedora Core 2, there is a panel configuration menu but I can't configure turning off the movable handles... I'll keep searching, as long as I know that it is possible.

Thanks,
