But like I said, in Fedora it is *meant to* -- that's what the Bluecurve
theme does.

Send one to me off-list by email.

Okay, first you seem to have something odd going on with selinux, which
is supposed to be disabled by default in FC2. I don't know much about
selinux. I wonder if someone else on the list might be able to help you
with that aspect of your problem.

Well the above is what happens when you use rpm's --force option. You
have missing dependencies. Your rpm database might be in such a state by
now that you might want to consider a clean install.

The above are fine, nothing to worry about.

One last thing you might try: in GNOME right-click on a panel and select
"New panel". Then, on that new panel right-click and select "Add to
Panel" -> "Main Menu". What do you get?

Best, Darren
