Adding Items to a GNOME Destop Panel
If you find there is an application you frequently launch from the desktop ''Applications'' or ''System'' menus, these may also be added to a panel. To do so, launch the ''Add to Panel'' dialog as outlined above and click on the ''Application Launcher''. The resulting dialog will list each menu item and all sub-menu items. If, for example, you wanted to be able to launch the OpenOffice Word Processor from the panel, simply click on the arrow next to ''Office'' in the ''Add to Panel'' dialog to unfold the list of Office applications. Select ''OpenOffice.org Word Processor'' and click on the ''Add'' button:

To move an item to a different location in a panel right click with the mouse of the item and select ''Move''. Then use the mouse to drag and drop the item to a new location. Alternatively, click with either the middle mouse button, or the left and right mouse buttons and drag and drop the panel item to the new location.
