Thankyou! Now I feel like I'm using a *real* operating system again
;-). Forgive me for my ranting, but I was becoming quite frustrated.
While we're on configuring gnome... is there a way to, for example, set
nautilus to use the flat-blue icons, but the rest of the system to use
bluecurve? Sounds odd, but I like the bluecurve icons in everything...
except their folder and file icons that pop up in Nautilus.
cheerio,
ES
