'''==CONFIGURING AWN'''== 

Once you have set up AWN, click on the '''CLOSE''' button, and '''restart your computer'''. You should see upon startup, that you now have AWN running (as well as the panels). In order to change the AWN settings, simply right-click somewhere on the awn area (but not directly on an icon). If you wish to launch more than one of the same applications, simply right-click on the icon and select '''“launch”'''.  

If for some reason:*After installing Avant Window Manager, run the program (under '''Accessories''' section), you want '''right-click on the docking panel''' to '''return to panelsedit preferences''', and select '''Start AWN Automatically'''.:*Next, you can issue as super-user, edit the following singlefile: '''sudo vi /usr/share/gnome-session/sessions/gnome-fallback.session''':*Remove the occurrence of '''gnome-line command panel''':*Lock-out of your current session.:*Prior to restore logging into your panelssession, '''select your default session as "Classic Gnome"''' (with or without effects):*You should you see your AWN docking station (not your gnome session). Enjoy!

'''NOTE: This other procedure is now considered obsolete!''' '''In order to hide the panel, you must instruct your system to use awn instead of panels.''' You do this by issuing the following single-line command in a shell prompt (you do NOT have to be super-user, and this command should be issued for each user on the system): '''<span style="font-family:courier;color:blue">gconftool-2 –type string –set /desktop/gnome/session/required_components/panel “awn”</span>''' This will take effect the next time you log-in or restart… If for some reason, you want to '''return to panels''', you can issue the following single-line command to restore your panels: '''<span style="font-family:courier;color:blue">gconftool-2 –type string –set /desktop/gnome/session/required_components/panel “gnome-panel”</span>'''
