Well I have to admit that I probably have mistaken Gnome documentation
for Ubuntu but that's why I said the 'help' documents.  I did what any
newbie would do and clicked on the help icon on the desktop.  I
actually was not aware that it was purely Gnome stuff though as I'm a
dyed in the wool KDE lover.  Unashamedly so too :-)))  It works for
me.  I can use Gnome and get on with it but I really do prefer KDE. 
I'm hoping one of the magazines will have a copy of Kubuntu on the
cover disc soon :-))))))

Hey, what more do you want?  I persevered and got Ubuntu up and
running and internet connected :-))))
