You might want to consider using a recent GNOME-version. Helixcode provides a very easy way to install a recent version. I believe it's http://www.helixcode.com. There is a graphical tool which "guides you through the installation-process". The new version 1.1.x (beta) is a bit faster, and you can choose a size for the panel. It might not be as stable as 1.0.x. -- Felix Natter
