Timothy Murphy: >> What exactly is the "notification area"? Matthew Saltzman: > In GNOME, it's the area on the panel with the clock, user-switcher, > power, printing active, software update, security icons (some always > on, some pop on to notify you of changed states). Just for clarity's sake, the clock is next to it, not in it. You can have one without the other. Just in case someone thinks that they've got it, just because they can see a clock. >> What does it look like? > It's got three small gray spots at its left end that you can grab to > move or right-click to configure. The drag indicator might be different that three spots, mine certainly is. Right-clicking on the spot and picking the about option will identify parts of your task bar. >> How do you get it back, if it is "accidentally removed"? > Right-click on a panel, add to panel -> notification area. This should have been easy enough for the OP to find out for themselves, by experimentation or an internet search. I gave the exact name for the gadget that might need adding to the panel. -- (This computer runs FC7, my others run FC4, FC5 & FC6, in case that's important to the thread.)
