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,
