LMDE is currently tracking Squeeze. Right click on the mint icon and you should see edit menus where you may add or remove items.

i tried that but they all got grouped under a "bookmarks" tab. anyway to remove that tab and just have them listed?

uhm yeah it does that if there's too many. just use some less - there's probably a gconf calue or somehting setting the ammount of bookmarks you can have before they're being grouped.....

ah - not quite that simple

To list your Nautilus-only bookmarks, select "Show GTK bookmarks" under the places menu and de-select the ones above it.

i already have my bookmarks added. i meant how to show them in a list instead of grouped. only thing i dont like about LMDE as opposed to main. if u use the old 3 section menu ur places section is empty except for home and desktop

well you have to be content with the ammount allowed or build gnome-panel from source with a different setting

actually the thread on the ubuntuforums i just posted explains everything step by step. although i completely understand why you wouldn't want to that for such a little thing. Anyway - if you can live with five items as favorites they will not be grouped and you have what you want.

edit: personally I added my dropbox folder and removed "Pictures" and "templates" - simple as that

ok i just told my games folder to suck it and i never use public or templates so i went ahead and deleted those

btw one final question. anyone got a green LMDE theme with a LMDE icon set? i cant find one on gnome-look.org so i was hoping sumone here might have one

simple as that :)

btw: i just wanted to build gnome-panel just for fun to see if you'd run into any stepping-stoines and indeed there is one.
lmde doesn't like a handfull of dev packages at the moment (libglib2.0-dev etc) because they conflict with a package that was pulled in from ubuntu for font-rendering etc. and of course those packages just had to be needed to build gnome-panel :D

and don't play around with the ubuntu patches for font rendering that Clem added..before he added it, LMDE looked like sh-t as far as the font rendering goes...he did a marvelous job...i keep thinking i am in regular mint or ubuntu (my web pages look that good)...

when i saw the first iso back on september and did some surfing in Chrome with it, at that time i said..."forget it!" :lol:
when i saw the December iso i said...now THAT"S MORE LIKE IT :D
