I recently upgraded from RedHat 9 to Fedora.
In RedHat 9 I had created drawers on the panel and dropped apps in the drawers. Worked well for me.
When I installed Fedora all the drawers were there and there was an icon in the drawer for each app but each of these was another drawer now.
I went through and deleated all the drawers and started over. and added all the drawers to the panel and placed then placed my apps in the draweres. They seems to work great. Later I logged out, when I logged back in all the apps changed back to drawers again.
Frustrated, I thought there must be something that wasn't compatable between the config files of the old and new. I deleted all directories starting with .gnome and all others that I thought was related to gnome config. When I logged in the desktop changed from the Redhat desktop that I had been using to a different background and had all the default icons on the panel. Now I have a clean start. I put one drawer on the panel. Added a couple of apps to the drawer. They work fine. Logout then login and the icons are now drawers.
The other problem I have is that I have always had focus change to the window the cursor is on and it would raise if I clicked in the window. I am still able to change focus when the cursor is placed in a window but it seams that I have to click on the title bar to raise the window. Is there a way to get my old behaivor.
