From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3; Linux) Description of problem: Identifier: rhl-cg(EN)-8.0-HTML-RHI (2002-08-14T17:28-0400) As requested- feedback on your Documentation: The Configuration Guide is off to a good start! For future "editions" please consider adding a section on configuring the Desktop. It would be immensely useful to know how to add/hide apps on the Start Application bar, how to protect the basic system menus from being changed and how to set up a user-changeable menu area. (I seem to remember a utility that let root modify the Start Application bar. Has this been removed in 8.0?) Another useful topic would be setting up a global set of browser links in order to help cut down on duplication in private bookmark sets. Even better would be having a global set that is shared between all the different browsers that might be on a system. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. RTFM 2. 3. Additional info:
1) add/hide apps on the Start Application bar, how to protect the basic system menus from being changed and how to set up a user-changeable menu area. An interface for changing the menus as a user is still in development 2) Another useful topic would be setting up a global set of browser links in order to help cut down on duplication in private bookmark sets. Even better would be having a global set that is shared between all the different browsers that might be on a system. I'll look into adding this information.
Reassigning to new owner for inclusion in the RHEL 4/5 Desktop Admin Guide.
