As I was looking for this really a long time I am reposting it:

With the new gnome and using a classic-session you have to press META + ALT + RightClick to access the panel menu. In my case META is “Alt Gr”. So try this:

Gnome Panel Applets not showing up in Applet List in Ubuntu 10.4 Natty

For quite some time I was trying to figure out why my installed applets like “hamster-applet” for example where not showing up in the applet list. Finally I found the solution. You have to install the gnome applet bonobo compatibility package:

Gnome multi line taskbar / windowlist

For quite some time I was looking for a solution to have a multi-line gnome taskbar. Under windows you can just drag your taskbar and the windowlist chooser expands to multiple lines. Now I learned: under gnome its almost as easy. Open some Program. Right-click your panel (to which you already added the window-chooser applet) and go to “Properties” there you increase the size until the window-list chooser is multiple lines high (over 50px it was for me). Thats all. Gnome resizes all other icons in the panel to, so I recommend adding a smaller extra panel for them. Or you just live with it (as i do). When you choose, that your virtual-desktop chooser is shown in two lines, then it’s quite okay.
