To move any object in a Panel to a different location, just hold down the middle mouse button and drag it to the new location. Or, you can right-click on it and choose Move, then move the mouse to the new location and press any mouse button to anchor it in its new position. You can move it to a different location on the same Panel, or to a different Panel. If in the course of this movement it hits other objects, the behavior depends on the global preferences (see the section called Panel objects Tab): the object you are moving can switch places with other objects, "push" all objects it meets, or "jump" over all other objects without disturbing them. You can also override the default behavior by holding the Shift button (for "push" mode), the Ctrl button (for "switched" mode), or the Alt button (for "free" mode, i.e. jumping other objects without disturbing them) while moving the object.
To remove an object from a Panel, right-click on it and choose Remove from panel from the pop-up menu.
By default, the GNOME Panel contains only a few basic objects, such as the Main Menu. However, there are many Panel objects you can add to it. For example, every menu item in the Main Menu or its submenus can be added to a Panel as an application launcher. GNOME also has many applets that can be added to a Panel, ranging from Printer Applet, which prints files which you drag and drop onto the applet, to Wanda the Fish. There are many additional GNOME applets and applications available on the Internet.
To add an applet to a Panel, right-click on the Panel and select Panel->Add to panel->Applet. This will show you a
