I'm not sure what you mean by terminal...  but my first comment is that by
fiddling with XF86Setup I was able to get a lot more screen real estate
than the red hat default.  I've heard others complain similarly while still
others think XF86Setup sucks.  I suspect it depends on your display
hardware.  YMMV.  If you can get more resolution, and your user can stand
the smaller icons and fonts, that will help.

I found that the toolbar is less intrusive on the right hand of the screen.
 You can also set it to auto-hide but this is a little awkward if you use
all the virtual desk space.

I don't have a GUI handy to explain exactly the steps to those config
menus...  I think it was under <footprint>/this panel's properties/...

I've been trying to get up the energy to download and upgrade the few dozen
Gnome and KDE packages.  The newer Netscape always seems a little better;
I'll bet the Gnome updates are better too.
