You only need one or the other. The GNOME2 applets only work with GNOME2 and the GNOME1 applets only work with GNOME1. > gnome-session > > o can i start a single app, e,g, ssh-add, and after it completes, > and only after it completes, then start a bunch of windows? I think maby, but I'm not sure. Look at the session properties dialog, in particular the start order. If all else fails, add an "ssh-add;" line to your .xinitrc file before gnome-session. > panel > > o how do i put the appended small script into a swallowed > application? i really need multi-timezone clocks.

This is gnome2? They should be a fixed dimension. What makes them go away? How do you get them back? What window manager are you using? > o how do i arrange the little icons within a mini-launcher?

I'd try finding the binary for the clock, then running $ env TZ=.....; [clock-binary]; from the command line. The Gnome2 clock appears to be part of the panel binary, so you may not be able to do this at the moment. --Ben
