Two RH9 to fedora questions

[Warren Pollans]

Hello,

If this not the appropriate place for this question, please point there.

As part of switching to a new workstation, I just installed fedora on a dell gx270 (2.4
GHz) - dual-booting XP pro and fedora - disclaimer: fedora is the default, XP will
probably go unused :-)  My old workstation is still running RH9.

Everything seems to be working as before - only much faster - mozilla literally just pops
up instead of lumbering onto the screen.  I had rebuilt mozilla, sylpheed-claws, apsell,
mysql, my site-perl perl modules and a few other things and then copied over most of my
home directory.  Pretty effortless for the most part

The QUESTIONS:

1.  How do I get the middle mouse button to expand the window vertically when I click on
the "expand" box in the upper right corner of the window?  I thought this was I
window-manager feature, but can't find it or remember how I configured it in RH9 -
I'm using gnome and whatever window-manager comes with it

2.  I used the "command line" utility from the panel in RH9.  I have it on the
fedora panel but would like to not have to re-enter all of the macros that I had defined
in RH9.  Could someone please tell me where the config/data files are kept for panel
"objects"?  Of course, I have could have re-entered everything in the time it
took to write this note  :-)


Thanks,

Warren

I had a user with a very similar question.
The magic settings for metacity are in Start-Preferences-Keyboard 
Shortcuts. Change "Maximize window vertically" from disabled to 
something like 'Meta-v'.

Unfortunately, there does not appear to be any way to get metacity to 
adjust the functions of the standard window buttons.

If you'd like to ditch metacity for some other more configurable window 
manager, search the archives of this list for IceWM. There's a good 
how-to on replacing metacity with it.

I don't know for sure, but it looks like the data gets stored under your 
.gconf directory.
