-===== How to use the alternative GNOME-menu ===== 
- 
-If you want to use the new menu from GNOME, with quick starters for favorites applications and such, you can use the [[http://goodies.xfce.org/projects/panel-plugins/xfce4-xfapplet-plugin|xfapplet panel plugin]] with the GNOME main menu applet.  The menu should be installed with your package system, look for **gnome-main-menu**.  [[http://wirelessimage4.pbwiki.com/f/Screenshot.png|Xfce screenshot]], [[http://www.novell.com/video/desktop/|video]]. 
- 
-Add a new xfapplet item inside your panel, and open its properties dialog to add the GNOME menu applet. 
- 
-If you don't like GNOME main menu, try Ubuntu System Panel, available in several distributions.
