Aha! I kept doing `rm -rf ~/.gnome-desktop` and gmc kept re-creating
them on startup! Now I see the light! ;-)
Okay, so I *must* have the directory, even if empty.
Can it at least be renamed ~/.gnome/desktop?

Okay: I opened an ftp connection in gmc, and now I have #ftp:host in the
top level tree. how do I get rid of it? when I click on the line with
#ftp, everything freeses: the mouse pointer becomes clock and I cannot
switch focus away from gmc - I have to switch to the text console and
kill -9 gmc, then it unfreeses (but doesn't die -- how did you do
that?!)
$ cd ~
$ rm -f .gnome-desktop/*
$ ln -s ~ .gnome-desktop/home
$ gmc
mouse3 on home icon ==> properties ==> gmc is restarted (apparently
after a crash).
the "home" icon looks like this
=================================== <----------- what is this bar for?
picture of a file folder
arrow
word: "home"
what is the bar above the picture for?

what is "control-center"?
I don't have such an executable (I have control-panel from RH)
what is a "capplet"?
how do I tell gmc to use gnuclient instead of emacs?
