[xubuntu-users] Application button vanished

[Skip Evans]

Hey Jim & all,

It's a couple month old install of Edgy. I can see 
on my machine here how to add that menu item, so 
I'll stop by there on my way home and give it a shot.

I also printed out Ralf's instructions too.

Forgot about Ctrl-Alt to get at shells... "D'oh!" 
Too much X windows and not enough old school, I guess.

Thanks all for the input!
