The gnome-panel 2.4.0 is currently fubarred - drawers
in autohide panels just don't work (annoyingly, whenever the panel is
revealed, drawer automatically open up, and clicking on one their
contents, if any, does not work.)

How can we tell Mr. Volkerding to make sure that fix for this is
put in place for Slackware 9.1? I understand that Mandrake has such a fix,
and, quite frankly, Slackware is, and should remain, far superior.

Email him the problem and be specific with the traces / error codes. if you
have to, cut and paste in the xfree log as well (but warn him in the
subject line) and even better if possible: use "strace -o
/home/my_user_name/xfree.strace", then use "cat /home/my_user/xfree.strace
| grep ENO > /home/my_user/xfree.strace.eno" to cut it down to only errors.
There are so many things he could use as info. BTW, his email is "Patrick
J. Volkerding" <volkerdi@slackware.com>

His address is included in several places in the distro. I don't
think he would want it posted here for spambots to gather.
