Drag a Color onto the Panel - Whenever you have a color selector displayed
you may drag a color from the selected color bar to the Panel and it will
change the Panel to that color.
Drag a Pixmap to the Background Selector - If you would like to change the
background to an image, you can drag that image from your GNOME File
Manager to the Monitor Image in the Background Capplet of the Control
Center and it will change to that image.
Drag to an Application - Many GNOME compliant applications will accept
drag and drop. If you would like to open a file in Gnumeric, a GNOME
compliant spreadsheet application, you may simply drag the file from the
GNOME File Manager onto Gnumeric and it will open the file. The same is
true for applications built using Motif. You may drag a saved URL onto
Netscape 4x and it will open the URL. This can be very useful if you are
working within the GNOME File Manager and wish to quickly open a file.
Adding an Application Launcher to the Panel - If you would like to add an
application launcher to the Panel you may drag and drop any executable
file from the GNOME File Manager, or the Desktop, onto the Panel. This
will display the Create Launcher applet dialog box which will allow you to
select a name and an icon for that launcher.
Dragging Files - There are many ways to use drag and drop to help you
manage your system. You can open two GNOME File Manager windows selecting
two different directories then drag files between the two windows to copy,
move, or link files. You can drag files from the File Manager to the
desktop to make it more accessible. Use the middle mouse button or the
right and left mouse buttons together and Drag a directory folder to the
desktop. Choose the link option from the pop-up menu to make a link to the
desktop. This will give you a quick way to launch the File Manager to that
directory.
Dragging Directories - You can drag a directory out of the GNOME File
Manger and place it on the Panel. This will create a new menu which allows
you easy access to the files in that directory.
You may drag any sub menu from the Main Menu to the panel and a new menu
launcher is added to the panel. This allows easier access to that sub-set
of menus.
