Hey Guys!

I've been playing with Gnome and KDE running under Red Hat Linux v8.0 
--- all on same PC.

Perhaps you can help me with a couple of points.


How to configure / change the size of the bar at the bottom of the 
screen in Gnome. I'm running with a 800 x 600 monitor on this PC and the 
bar is about 3/4 inch high!
In KDE it's possible to select one of 5 sizes, one of which is a custom 
option. Also the KDE bar can be hiden off to the right of the screen, 
thus leaving the entire area for apps -- particularly usefull on 
relatively low-res screens .


I've heard of Nautilus. What is it and how do I find it? According to 
the installer, it's installed.



I'm trying hard, but the more I play with Gnome, the more I appreciate 
KDE3. The KDE Control centre is, I believe,  WAY AHEAD of the Gnome version.

Also, WRT Red Hat -- I've managed to get it in a knot again --- had to 
reboot. This was after using the package installation app.
