Gnome desktop/windows manager questions

[Nix, Robert P.]

The first thing that you're doing wrong is not first searching the 
newsgroup's archives. The empty drawer thing has been fixed. Search the 
archives of the newsgroup for the solution. I think it was documented
in Bugzilla as well. Start looking at about three or four months ago.
This was addressed almost immediately after Fedora Core 1 was
released.
