Ho Hum...<br>
So maybe it is time to move to a different panel system.<br>
<br>
Is there a panel program that is a little more responsive to<br>
such user requests?<br>

panel X over panel Y<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I know tint is very popular with people who don't use gnome.</div><div> </div><div>- Dana</div></div>
