[SOLVED] [GNOME3] How to add applets to the panel

City-busz · 2011-04-11 01:41:30

I'm using GNOME 3 in fallback mode, and I can't figure out how can I add or remove applets to gnome-panel. I can't find any GUI tool for do that, and I can't add dconf settings also (with dconf-editor I could set existing values only). Could someone help me?

OK, now I know that I have to press Alt button when I right clicking on the panel.

How do you explain that this has absolutely no effect for me? :-/ (in normal mode as in fallback mode)

Same thing here on my laptop... I dunno why, cause alt+right click works fine on another computer...

Maybe you changed the key /apps/metacity/general/mouse_button_modifier in gconf-editor. I had changed it to <Super>, resetting it to the default (<Alt>) made Alt+Right-Click work. (at least, for some time after the session starts, but it may be an other problem).

P.S.: See this thread : https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=117978

I've already tried to change to <Super> then back to <Alt> without any effects...
I'm not running openbox or compiz either (I've heard that compiz could work with gnome fallback).

Hmm, I think I'm in the same situation now that I've changed the key to the default and that it doesn't work anymore (with metacity). I haven't found any solution yet.

I can't test it (without numlock and/or capslock) right now.

After hitting number lock it worked for me thanks guys.

Niavlys · 2011-05-14 19:19:23

Wow, that's weird, but it works, many thanks

Same problem, except my laptop keyboard doesn't have numlock and i don't have usb keyboard (Onboard numlock doesnt seem to help)

There is a program called "numlockx". Maybe that will work.

At first it didn't work, but after relogging it helped. Thanks!

It's even worse than that.... in fallback mode, you have to disable the num lock to make this trick works...;)

No, this problem has been solved since then. For me at least! Now num lock doesn't bother when using Alt-RightClick.
Something I discovered a few days ago is that Super-Alt-RightClick works with another WM as well (Alt-RightClick don't work when using Openbox or Compiz). This is a big relief for me, as I had to create a script to switch between metacity and openbox; this script is now useless
