Jack Pidwell,
you should be able to add a second panel by right clicking on the existing panel. Then choose the last option, I think, configure or customize (I haven’t used this version yet, but it works in Xfce on other distros so I’m guessing). You should see “panel 1” with a plus sign and a minus sign button next to it. Click the + button and then choose where you want panel 2 to be placed. And then use the same right click method to add or remove items from each panel. I hope this works. It worked for me on Xubuntu, Debian, and Sabayon. I hope it works on Mint.

I’m excited to try out Mint with Xfce now. I’ve enjoyed the Gnome versions, and I am an Xfce fan as well. I’d love to see some more JWM development (by the JWM team itself). It is very light, and looks to have potential. However, LXDE is much more beautiful looking than JWM. But that is just because no pretty themes have been developed for it yet, I believe. IceWM does have some pretty themes and is also quite sleek. So many choices!

I second Petros Masuku’s question (post #50)

How can you add XFCE as a DE option to a linux mint GNOME install?

hi. ive tested the live cd. it seems that mint is very very fast, and has lot of needed plugins installed such as fash. the thing is: i dont know if it possible to have a 2 bar old fashion gnome desktop scheme. i would much aprreciate it if you guys could tip me out on this.
kudos

New to Linux and Mint 7 has been fantastic. Have old Dell Lat D400 with 30G HD and 1Gmem. Runs smooth and all worked out of box with a tiny bit to get wless working. Only shortfall is I have a relatively new all in one Lexmark wireless which is useless to this computer – at least for now. trying to learn a work-around.

Thanks for converting me.
