I can't find it either Herb. Wouldn't it be nice if there was something like the 'about:config' file that's in Firefox?" I recently put that to good use in Sidux because iceweasel 3.0.6 (as used in Sidux) comes with a single 'X' at the upper right to close browser tabs and I want an 'X' on each tab. Google found it for me in short order but google didn't help me at all with configuring Gedit. -- Don Crowder http://www.don-guitar.com http://www.lockergnome.com/eldergeek/ //www.freelists.org/list/donspatch http://don-guitar.blogspot.com/ http://www.myspace.com/donguitar A proud user of Debian Etch w/KDE. ______________________________________________________________________________ Highland Lakes Linux User Group (HLLUG): http://www.hllug.org HLLUG mailing list: //www.freelists.org/list/hllug
