TenSigh: To get rid of an icon from Gnome-Do, just drag them off of it, and they go poof.

Question; I have Gnome-do running and I like it, but it has a bunch of stuff that I don’t want; I have icons for Kig, Qucs, Tali, xine, Vuze, xPDF, etc. I don’t use these regularly (or in some cases, at all). I can’t seem to find a way to get rid of them. Any clues?

Diabolic Preacher – yes there is a way. I can’t remember how to do it off the top of my head, but google “Gnome Do” and you should be able to find the Gnome Do web site. I recall seeing instructions on how to set it up from the command line on the site.

is there not a way to set this up for someone from commandline. most steps here depend on the GUI. and win key may not always be present…esp. on laptops. and other launchers all default to using Alt-Space… why does gnome do have to remind us of Windows!! with using the Win key?

Very Cool! I’ve been looking for a launchy alternitive for linux being I dont run windows on any of my pc’s anymore. This is MUCH more what I was looking for then having to use the deskbar applet.

Many Thanks!

[...] a keyboard junkie and I use Launchy on Windows and Gnome Do on Ubuntu to start programs. The instant appearance of the Launchy window never fails to amuse [...]

@Syahid: Nopes, it’s not a widget. It’s a program launcher. You press a shortcut key combo – it pops up – you type in something like ‘fire’ – it suggests Firefox – you press enter – it opens up. Saves you time.

@Sumesh: Yep, the UI is really very well polished. Good luck with your Ubuntu journey
