182 Start-Up<br />

The Places Menu<br />

The Places menu provides easy access to common locations, such as your home directory,<br />

drives, the desktop, and network folders. A search function for recent documents<br />

and a file search can also be launched with this menu. For more information about file<br />

management <strong>of</strong> local and remote folders, see Section 7.4.2, “File Management”<br />

(page 186).<br />

The Desktop Menu<br />

The Desktop menu contains controls for managing your desktop. Here, find the GNOME<br />

Control Center (customizes your desktop), Lock Screen (starts the screen saver), Log<br />

Out (ends your session), and an easy-to-use program for taking screen shots <strong>of</strong> your<br />

desktop. The screen shot function can also be accessed by pressing the Print Screen key<br />

(also known as PrtSc ).<br />

Applets<br />

An applet is a small application that resides within a panel, indicated by a small icon<br />

that you click to interact with the applet. Unlike “real” applications, applets do not have<br />

their own windows on screen. Some applets are already preconfigured to be in your<br />

panel on first start, but there are many more applets you can add to your own panels.<br />

To add an applet to a panel, right-click any empty space on the panel then click Add to<br />

Panel. Select the applet to add then click Add. The new applet is then permanently<br />

added to the panel.

Hooray! Your file is uploaded and ready to be published.
