<p>To workaround this problem you need to disable Launch Feedback.
To do this, open up the GNOME Control Center, and select
Desktop->Launch Feedback. Uncheck all the options. Click OK.
You should now be able to launch your Linux apps from the GNOME
panel. Another option is to install Linux version of xalf into

<p>Well, it depends on the point of view. Of course both GNOME
and KDE are still far from perfection or even completeness and
hardly could be compared to commercial offerings in terms of
user-friendlity, but at the same time it is a huge step in the
right direction. It also should be noted, that both GNOME and
KDE are still very young and situation is likely to improve as
they will mature (does anybody remember what sort of crap
Windows 3.11 was?).</p>
