1.3 Desktop Basics
As with other common desktop products, the main components of the GNOME desktop
are icons that link to files, folders, or programs, as well as the panel at the bottom of
the screen (similar to the Task Bar in Windows). Double-click an icon to start its asso-
ciated program. Right-click an icon to access additional menus and options. You can
also right-click any empty space on the desktop to access additional menus for config-
uring or managing the desktop itself.
