Fedora 15 - Cant move the startup taskbar

[zedan85]

Hi i cant seem to move the task bar which seemed to be fixed at the top any idea on how i could move that to the bottom. I tried dragging it to the bottom but it doesnt work ?

Are you running Gnome 3?
If so, then AFAIK there's not really a way to customize it that way.
If you're using the Fallback option, then there might be something to find in the gconf-editor.

Yep, welcome to Gnome 3. It seems we've traded all kinds of functionality and configurability for a bunch of OSX'y icons that pop up from the bottom, usually when you're trying to click a button near the bottom of your browser screen.

I have gnome 3.0.1. And this is really annoying . How about the minimize button "_" . In firefox and other windows. I remembers there a way to atleast get the minimize fedora 13 had it. Is there a way to get the minimize button to work

really the gnome 3 is annoying. once i installed fedora 15. but its very difficult to use. ubuntu 11.04 was also same. but 11.10 is better. better you need to install fedora 14.

Try installing cinnamon, it gives you a Gnome 2.x feel to Gnome 3.x - see this thread:

This works a treat... but only for Fedora 16. I tried it on Fedora 15, and it doesn't work at all.

bummer...that's good to know, though.

Of-course there is a way.
Install gnome-tweak. After installing gnome-tweak,under the shell tab, you can select the options(show minimize/maximize/close/all) to be shown on the ui windows.
