Hi all,

1) There are several partitions formatted, but none of them appears when
clicking the "Computer" icon, despite they are correctly declared into
the fstab; though they can be accessed via nautilus navigating through
the file system, apart from the CLI obviously... They are set to mount
automatically ("auto") at start up.
 This is not what I expected, since until FC4 you could access to such
as volumes easily, in one step by "Computer" clicking.
Is there any way to restore that behaviour in Gnome? I've been reading the Gnome 2.14 Guide and found nothing about it.
 Worse yet, inside the "Computer" access on my desktop, the system
creates icon for those volumes that exist in the hard disk indeed...,
but that are not formatted with any file system yet!

I don't understand the problem if the partitions are mounted, then they are visible in the file system. I can see my partitions by going through the file system from the gnome Computer icon. They are "not" separate but part of the filesystem where they are mounted.

Are you saying that you expect to see each partition displayed with it's own icon?

The removable drives show up as expected.



2) I'd like to edit the gnome panel in order to remove a entry that
hangs from System (or Desktop, the third one place in the main menu),
called "Suspend". There are reasons for that, it is not an empty "bright
idea"... I'm sure this is not in the /usr/share/applications/*.desktop
path, but I have no idea where could hide now Gnome (or Fedora) those
files. Before, at some earlier versions they were placed into some more
or less known paths, but now who knows.., anyone knows, please?

Thanks in advance,

Daniel


Menu editing has always been a pain for me since RH/Gnome moved to this format. I have searched through the various *.desktop files to find where things are buried.

There was an article that I had for RH 8 that explained the changes and how some menu features can be called from other menu lines.

There is a need for a decent menu editor.




There isn't help to me? No a single idea or comment? :-(

Daniel
