Adding a Drawer
A drawer is an icon that you can click to display other icons representing menus, applets, and
launchers; it behaves just like a panel. Essentially, any item you can add to a panel you can add to
a drawer. By adding a drawer to your GNOME panel, you can include several applets and launchers
that together take up the space of only one icon. Click on the drawer to show the applets and
launchers as though they were being pulled out of a drawer icon on the panel.
To add a drawer to your panel, right-click the panel and select Add to Panel???Drawer. A drawer
appears on the panel. Right-click it, and add applets or launchers to it as you would to a panel.
Click the icon again to retract the drawer.
Figure 3-10 shows a portion of the panel with an open drawer that includes xeyes (an applet
which features eyes that follow your mouse pointer around the desktop), an icon for running
GIMP, and an icon for launching a Terminal window.

Changing Panel Properties
Those panel properties you can change are limited to the orientation, size, hiding policy, and background.
To open the Panel Properties window that applies to a specific panel, right-click on an open
space on the panel and choose Properties.
