><P
>      Most of the things here are not really bugs; rather, they
      describe situations when the Panel's behavior is not what you
      would expect.   </P
><P
> You can not place an ordinary file or directory on the
      Panel. If you try to drag and drop a file from the File Manager
      window to the panel, it won't work. The only type of file that
      can be placed on the Panel are <TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>.desktop</TT
>
      files, which describe launchers (and
      <TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>.kdelnk</TT
> files, which describe lunchers in
      the format used by K Desktop Environment); any directory dropped on the
      panel will be interpreted as a menu &#8212; that is, all the
      files other than <TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>.desktop</TT
> files will be
      ignored.
    </P
><P
> Editing menus other than the <B
CLASS="GUIMENU"
>Main Menu</B
>
      is rather confusing. <TT
CLASS="APPLICATION"
>Menu Editor</TT
> at
      the moment can not be used for this, and
      <B
CLASS="GUIMENUITEM"
>Properties</B
> item of the right-click
      menu is not too helpful either - for example, it doesn't allow
      one to change menu's icon (see <A
HREF="menus.html#MENUSCONF"
>la sezione <I
>Configuring a Menu</I
></A
> for
      instructions for doing this). This will be improved in the next
      release.
    </P
><P
> The <B
CLASS="GUIMENU"
>Global Menu</B
> (which you get by
      pressing the <B
CLASS="KEYCAP"
>Menu</B
> key on the keyboard or by
      right-clicking on the panel itself), and the <B
CLASS="GUIMENU"
>Main
      Menu</B
> (which you get by clicking on the foot icon)
      are configured separately. The reason is that you
      can have several <B
CLASS="GUIMENU"
>Main Menu</B
> buttons on
      different panels.
    </P
><P
>     The <B
CLASS="GUIBUTTON"
>Screen Lock</B
> button does not lock the
     screen if "No Screensaver" is set in the Control Center.
    </P
><P
>  The only way of changing Panel type (Edge, Aligned, etc.)
      is by choosing <B
CLASS="GUISUBMENU"
>Properties</B
>-&gt;<B
CLASS="GUISUBMENU"
>Type</B
> from the
      <B
CLASS="GUIMENU"
>Panel</B
> menu: you can not change Panel type in
      <SPAN
CLASS="INTERFACE"
>Panel Properties</SPAN
> dialog. Conversely,
      <B
CLASS="GUISUBMENU"
>Properties</B
>-&gt;<B
CLASS="GUISUBMENU"
>Background type</B
>   allows
      you to change the background type (Pixmap/Color/Standard), but
      not to choose the actual color or image to use.  </P
