I've seen that after a NVidia/X goof. For some reason it decided I couldn't have the screen mode that I'd been using for months, and picked a lower resolution one. The objects on the title bar couldn't fit in the same positions, so it moved them along (badly). > is there some way to restore order to this sitch? Move them to where you want to? Right click and move anything you want to. Right click and *unlock* anything you can't move. If you get really stuck, you can remove some things and add them again. Take note of what they're called, first. -- [tim@bigblack ~]$ uname -ipr 2.6.22.1-27.fc7 i686 i386 Using FC 4, 5, 6 & 7, plus CentOS 5. Today, it's FC7.
