Hmm, I'm at home now. Given that list I'd be missing:
Dictonary lookup
CPU load
Slashapp
And I use a different clock than the standard one.
This is a _very_ weak looking list of choices.
Is this on purpose? Gnoem 2.x has been out a _long_ time for this to be all
that;s avaiable.
I vote for keeping both avaialble. I do still have Gnome crashes, but I've
just tared off my ~/.gno* directries, and when they happen, I just relaod
from the tar file.
I'd rather put up with that, thna lose functionality. Although in a perfect
world, I would not have to fo either :-(
