I have installed fedora 5 with gnome 2.14.
How can I invoke the deskbar in gnome 2.14?
I tried "Alt -f3", but nothing happens.

Sorry, don't follow. "Deskbar"? I know of <Alt-F1> to get the main menu,
and <Alt-F2> for 'Run'. <Alt-F3> is a new one on me. Do you mean <Alt-Tab>?
Or maybe <Ctrl-Alt-Tab> [to get to the panel] then <tab> to the windowlist
applet?


The deskbar is a new panel applet that was introduced in GNOME 2.14.
For more details on what it is, have a look at the release notes:
http://www.gnome.org/start/2.14/notes/en/rnusers.html
(about 1/3rd of the way down the page)

To invoke the deskbar, you have to have the applet on a panel. You can
put it on a panel by right-clicking on the panel and selecting "add to
panel..." and choosing it from the list of applets. This will put a
text entry on the panel.

To invoke the deskbar, either click on the text entry and start typing
or (from anywhere on the desktop) use the keys "alt - F3", which will
focus the deskbar entry where you can start typing.

Hope this helps
Don
