Thanks Brian. I always appreciate your helpful tips and comments. I still wish there was some way to totally get rid of that blasted, annoying cashew and all the nuisance widgets ;) And I still can't get the panel icons arranged in the sequence I want them. Every time I restart, they get all messed up and have to be rearranged again. And I can't figure out how to put the panel on the left or right side of the screen instead of on the bottom or top.
