=== How to setup Desktop workspaces ===

On Fedora 15 the default manager is Gnome 3, which doesn't handle the workspaces as expected on multiple screen. Than means only the main monitor changes the workspace but the additional monitor keeps with the same desktop.

In order to fix this, install gconf-editor and run it, then navigate to ''desktop > gnome > shell > windows'' and uncheck the ''workspaces_only_on_primary'' box.

To finish the setup do a logout and login back to see the changes.

=== How to setup Desktop icon for applications ===

On Fedora 15/16 dektop icons must be placed on `/usr/share/applications`

=== How to set the size of Applications icons ===

The applications icons under ''Activities'' can be resized on `/usr/share/gnome-shell/theme/gnome-shell.css`.

Look at the section <tt>/* Apps */</tt> and change the values for:

.icon-grid { ... }

.contact-grid { ... }

.icon-grid .overview-icon { ... }

When finish, press ''Alt+F2'' and type `r` in order to reload Gnome desktop and see the changes.
