	The biggest one is that I can't get the workspace switcher to do 
anything. Everything I do is predicated on having two rows with 14 - 18 
spaces. But I change the settings in xfce's switcher, and they change 
back. I log out and back in, and my changes still don't take.

	Also, the bottom panel (I use bottom and left side) is just a tad 
too high on the monitor (like a lot of other things on that machine), so 
that when I hold the cursor on some unfamiliar launcher, the little 
message that pops up is too far down below to read.

	I thought Gnome 3 didn't have one! Is gnome-
panel-3.2.1-2.fc16.i686 (given by rpm -q) part of gnome 3, then?? That 
seems contrary to the gnome-developers' whole new party line.

I have precious (very precious!) little idea where up is.
