Your panel conversion problem may be a new bug, or it may be just the
conversion scripts being imperfect. I'll look into it.

Converting your font preferences from GNOME 1 isn't feasible; the new
method of configuration is easier, but totally incompatible with the old
one.

The pallette is there to specify the colors to be used by ANSI color
sequences. I agree that it would be friendlier if you could drag them
over as a side benefit.

Yuck, this is a bit of a problem. GNOME likes to use full paths of
image files for these things, but right now we have them in
/usr/athena/share on Solaris and mostly in /usr/share on Linux, because
we use lots of native GNOME packages on Linux. I'll have to think about
this one.

I haven't seen this. If you can find a message which reliably crashes
it, save a copy and I'll look into it.

Hrm. Bill also noticed some kind of signature issue, but I didn't.
I'll see what I can find out.
