FWIW, like Glenn, I don't know exactly what are taskbars and sidebars. I vaguely know they're thingies that I've heard mentioned, especially in a Windows context. > I found it very hard to be OS-agnostic here and still convey the ideas. Agreed. I think replacing "the task bar and side bar" with "task bars and side bars" is about as good as we can make it. Better not add terminologu such as "panels" (used also in XFCE), since these have a fairly strong but different meaning in other systems and will just lead to more confusion. Stefan
