I have one question. I created a firefox launcher on the Awn dock, but the icon is generic. You state in your article that you can change the icon, which I see is easy to do, but where is the Firefox icon located natively? Thanks, Jason Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala Firefox launcher:

Anyway, I happen to find all of your information relevant and extremely helpful to most Ubuntu users, n00bs and expert users alike! I have been scouring the forums since the Ibex release to look for info on AWN-Curves in 8.10, and I cant believe I didn't even come here to check! This is by FAR my favorite post! Thanks a million Tom, keep up all the great work! (wow..2 years of reading this blog and my first post! yay!) Jamie Tom,

Your explanations are clear and easy to follow even for a relative newbie to Linux (2 years). I am running Ubuntu 8.10 (upgraded from 8.04 based on your instructions) and today I added the AWN dock. I am running my Linux under VMWAre 6.5 and I couldn't get AWN to activate or work until I activated the Metacity functionality (per your instructions). It is working fine now. Keep going for those of us who are not totally Linux proficient. Tom,

I like it so much that I disabled Gnome Panel from starting at boot. However, after installing Intrepid the Gnome Panel is back and I can't find a way to stop it. Does anyone know a way to stop Gnome Panel from starting? I believe I disabled it in Sessions last-time, but it looks like the Sessions screen has changed since the last version of Ubuntu.
