If you are using Gnome, I read in one of the Australian Magazines a 
while ago that the Gnome developers removed a lot of the configuration 
options from Gnome 3, and there there was a tool that could be 
downloaded that reintroduced a number of them that the magazine 
recommended as being the first download that should be done for Gnome 3. 
Unfortunately I don't remember the name of the tool and I don't have the 
article anymore as I stopped using Gnome the first time I tried it when 
I found that I couldn't right click on the desktop and create 
application links.

regards,
Steve
