Chapter 2. GNOME Quick Start

The long bar at the bottom of Figure 2-1 is a GNOME Panel, which

contains a collection of useful panel applets and menus. Panel applets

are tiny programs designed to be placed in a panel, for example, the

clock applet on the far right shows the current time. The arrows on

each side of the panel hide (and unhide) the panel.

The button in the panel containing a stylized foot is the Main Menu

Button. Just click on the Main Menu Button and you’ll see a menu of

pre-loaded applications and actions, including a logout command.

The rest of the screen space is called the "Desktop." Just place on your

desktop the items you use most often and you can double-click on an

item (with the left mouse button) to use it:

• If the item is a program, that program will start.

• If it’s data, the appropriate program will be start up with that data

loaded.

• If it’s a directory, the ﬁle manager application will start and show

the contents of that directory. Your desktop will probably have a

folder icon labelled "Home directory". Double-clicking on it will

start a ﬁle manager at your home directory.

The ﬁle manager application lets you manipulate your ﬁles. The left

side of its window shows directories, and the right side shows the

selected directory’s contents:

1 2 ... 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 ... 299 300
