== Launching gDesklets ==
Once the gDesklet packages are installed, the next task is to invoke the ''gDesklet Shell'' configuration tool. After installation the tool will be listed under ''Utilities'' in the ''Applications Browser'' (accessed by pressing the ''Computer'' button on the desktop panel and pressing ''More Applications...''). Enter ''gDesklet'' into the ''Filter'' field to locate the utility. If you plan to access this utility right click on it and select ''Add to Favorites'' so that it appears on the main ''Computer'' panel. Click on it to launch it: [[Image:fedora_gdesklet_shell.jpg|The gDesklet Shell Running]]
The ''gDesklets Shell'' dialog will appear with a list of categories of desklets currently installed and available for use. Browse through the options and select a gDesklet to run. To run a desklet either double click on the entry in the list or select the desklet and choose the ''File->Run Selected Desklet'' menu option. The desklet will start up and appear on the desktop. Move the desklet to the desired location and click with the left hand mouse button to fix the position.
