I am using gnome.

If you look at my screenshot at
http://iprc.soest.hawaii.edu/users/tburns/noworkrave.png, you will see
workrave is not visible.

I appreciate your quick response. I tried fiddling with the gnome settings
(right click, add to panel) and workrave is on the list as available to add,
but has no icon next to it (
http://iprc.soest.hawaii.edu/users/tburns/panel.png). I added it anyhow and
now it shows up. No sheep, sometimes a hand, sometimes a coffeecup,
sometimes a gray rectangle with a green arrow. Thanks for helping!

Now that I can open the controls, I am wondering about the network settings.
I have no idea what they're about. I guess I should go back to the web page
and see if there's a hint there.

mahalo,
Dave

p.s.
