Wow; new one on me. That's the ONE thing I could always count on it

Yeah, I don't yet trust antispam built into mail clients; I have
spamassassin on my email server, and only have to drag and drop to
"blacklist" and it's marked, 'whitelist' and it's unmarked.
Kinda like a component stereo system. If you pay for a _tuner_ you
get a good tuner. If you pay for a turntable (ok, let's call it a cd
player) you get a good one. If you get one package that has it all,
you're gonna get cheap components. This is due to the attention span a
group can call to bear.

I'm working from the base FC3; I see no drawers other than what I
put on myself...(which I don't) and the top and bottom bars are pretty
skimpy. Did you do an upgrade, or a re-install? Maybe there are old
settings clouding the issue?
No such top-to-side transition was found here- did it this morning.
Thin panel at the top, thin panel on the side.

Well, see, I'm a Galeon holdback. I was ticked when I saw a galeon-

that galeon->mozilla and then mozilla->firefox is the way to go. Is the
method you mean?
