Thanks Evan,
Yeah, I just wanted to pass it along.
Another thing I've been noticing is that it's taking a very long time for a
workstation to log me out of my profile - today it was over 60 seconds
before anything happened. I didn't have any applications running (just
looking at my desktop), and so I wasn't sure what was going on.
Logout times for me have been ranging between 15-45 seconds or so - from the
time I click the logout button and when my desktop finally disappears.

=A0 =A0Thanks for the suggestion. I think it's pretty probable that we=
'll<br>
add the terminal icon back to the panel for the final release. In the<br>
mean time, you can add it to the panel yourself:<br>
<br>

=A0* Select "Application Launcher..." and click Forward<br>
=A0* Find "Terminal" under the "Accessories" menu and c=
lick Add<br>
=A0* Then click Close<br>
<br>
You should be able to drag the icon around to position it where you<br>
want, although you may need to right click on other panel elements and<br>
uncheck "Lock to panel" if you want to move those around as well.=
