Thanks for the ALT-key hint. I hadn't found that piece of information anywhere else, so I was trying to edit the two panels using dconf-editor. I got them placed in each corner on the right side (my screen is much wider than it is tall), but every time I log in they jump to being vertically centered... I can't seem to find out how to add new entries in dconf-editor, nor can I figure out how to add applets to the panels (I _need_ bubblemon)... I have been using GNOME since 1.something. Regarding the one-big-file: the time saving is nice, but that speed gain is kind of defeated when logging in hangs for 15 seconds (perhaps trying to find out why X doesn't do 3D on my graphics card, or something else?) - and the end result being _slower_ login in GNOME 3 compared to GNOME 2.
