At the bottom of the Programs menu is [Evolution] and "Web Browser". The default web browser is Galeon, which is a bit cleaner than Mozilla but isn't what I'm used to, so I might change back to Mozilla as the default. I realise that Evolution is a Ximian product, but you should either say "Evolution" and "Galeon" or "E-Mail/Groupware" and "Web Browser".
The desktop has a link to your home folder, a trash can and "My Computer", which takes you to a Control Panel-like configuration pane instead of your folders. These icons cannot be removed from the desktop."My Computer" gives you a better interface to SMB shares ans NFS shares. However one gripe that I found was though I mounted my XP partiton as /mnt/win it showed up as CDROM(1) in "My Computer". I am also looking for additional themes for the XD2.

+!!Changing the default web-browser for Ximian Evolution.
+
+I wanted to change the default browser that fires up when I click on links in Evolution. If you'd like to do the same all you have to do is type the following command:
+
+ # gnome-default-applications-properties
+
+And enter mozilla "%s" in the Custom Web Browser box.
+
+Additionally, if you find you aren't able to run Galeon after upgrading to XD2, and instead, you get this error:
+
+INTERNAL ERROR on Browser End: No manager for initializing factory?
+System error?:: Success
+
+I fixed this issue by removing the /usr/lib/mozilla and /usr/lib/mozilla-1.2.1/ directories, leaving only /usr/lib/mozilla-1.3.1/. I guessed that the problem was caused by the Flash plugin, but from what I read: " the problem is in the Java plugin by Sun. You need to remove it and install the blackdown java plugin" instead.
