Thanks!

Also, once I remove it I plan to dump the panel settings for root and
load them into the default settings. Is there anything I need to be
concerned about when doing this? Or is it just that simple? The
documentation mentions I should change the positions of panel objects
from absolute to relative, but it looks like that's already the case. I
assume I don't have to worry about that?

sorry, a bit lost. Would you like to have default settings for other
users ?


Yes. I'm modifying /etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults so that the first time
they login they get what I want them to get. It looks like there aren't
default panel settings in this directory. It looks like that directory
gets created based on the entries file. So, for example, I removed the
sound icon as root, used the gconf tool to dump the /apps/panel
directory, and used gconf tool to load it into the default gconf
directory. That seemed to work. I just assumed it would be the same
for the update icon. Is that the wrong way to do it?

I guess I still don't totally understand how it all works together.

sorry, just blew my rhel4 test system :(
will install rhel4 by tuesday.

out of memory, this should be handled by gconf default setting.
gnome.org has excellent documentation on administration.

/me will check this out later


Thanks,

Ron
