Has anyone else noticed the lack of the dotted line tear off menu handle in gnome under RH 7.3. Is this a bug? Did RH disable tear off menus in gnome? If so, why? Is there a way to re-enable them? Gnome isn't as useful without tearoff menus. RH 7.2 had them as did Ximian gnome.

I agree with you about 6.2 appearing quite stable. I guess it's the desktops, (enlightenment and kde both are not uptodate, orcomplete) and applications that seem cut back from previous versions. It just seems like all I got was 6.1 with fixes. I had that before I went to 6.2., I actually had mo
