A Gnome file config question and 1st post to unlock the full benefits of LQ account
After lurking and reading many posts for >20 years here is my first...
A new upgrade of my workstation to: Linux version 2.6.32-358.18.1.el6.x86_64 (mockbuild@x86-003.build.bos.redhat.com) (gcc version 4.4.7 20120313 (Red Hat 4.4.7-3) (GCC) )
from a previous version, has left my (custom) panels and icons (Launchers) in Gnome missing and a default setup in its place. Anticipating this I saved (tar) my (including dot) files and can access them but i am not sure if or which files to copy into my new environs - directories: (Gnome panel 2.30.2).
A number of posts (and Gnome docs) have given .gconf/apps/panel or .gnome or .gnome2 as locations to modify. To test this I created a new right-hand side panel but can not find it in any of the above new system config files. In my old previous gnome/OS version, I found many of my apps in .gnome2/panel2.d/default/launchers/ with names like hammer-00501b215b.desktop and there is a similar directory location in the new .gnome2... but none of its existing "foo-007b606688.desktop" references can be found on any of the panels.
How do i add old gnome apps in .gnome2/panel2.d/default/launchers/ to the new directory of same name(if it is the right place and the files are the right oes to copy) and get them to show on the right (x-right) panel?
