→‎Adding Items to a GNOME Destop Panel
When Fedora Linux is first installed, a number of items are added by default to the two panels. Additional items, however, may easily be added to any panel. There are a couple of ways to add items to the panel.

Simply open the ''Applications'' menu and navigate to the menu option for the desired application. Rather than clicking on this menu item with the left mouse button as you normally would, click instead with the right mouse button and select the ''Add this launcher to panel'' option. An icon representing the application will subsequently appear on the panel which, when clicked, will launch the corresponding application.

To delete an item from a panel right click with the mouse on the item and select ''Remove from Panel''.

If, for example, you wanted to be able to launch the OpenOffice Word Processor from the panel simply click on the arrow next to ''Office'' in the ''Add to Panel'' dialog to unfold the list of Office applications. Select ''OpenOffice.org Word Processor'' and click on the ''Add'' button:
