I just popped over to the gnomeicu site. there is a new version that
supports the gnome 'notify' panel thingy. kinda like the applet of yore,
I believe. the bad news. you have to use gnome2.2. only beta/rc's
are released right now, dont know if redhat has rpms for them or not.
however, the new version does seem better :) the bad news (didnt I just
say that?) all you nautilus themes will be broken. nautilus is moving
toward using the gnome themes instead of their own seperate ones.

one of the problems with newer distros (specifically the DE's). I use
gentoo witha 3G / partition (no seperate /usr partition). always at
least 2G used (gnome2, kde3.1beta2, etc).

i believe the philosophy here is 'minimalism'. not that I agree, but...
