(I asked this a few months ago, but the list was almost dead then. Now that
there is more activity, I'd like to try asking again.)
Of the various look-and-feel changes I've had to accept since moving to Gnome 2
(I kept my desktop at 1.X well past 2.0 and into 2.2), is that when I add a
launcher to a drawer I've created on the panel, only the icon displays.
For example, at work I have a lot of machines I regularly ssh into. So I had a
drawer I'd added, to which I created launchers for all the machines I access.
Under Gnome 1.X, the drawer appeared akin to a pop-up menu, with mini-icons and
the name I'd given the particular launcher, i.e.:
[] host1
[] host2
[] host1.domain2
...
However, under the Gnome 2 panel, I only get the larger icons, and no text
label at all. This makes the remote-host drawer a pain, because I have to hover
the mouse over an item until Gnome shows the tooltip, before I know if I have
the right item.
I've been all over the preferences dialogs for both the panel in general and
the drawers specifically, and have not seen an option to restore the desired
behavior. Is it no longer available, or am I just missing something?
