Using the Desktop Applications

This chapter describes how to use the Oracle Solaris Desktop applications. The applications have a similar look-and-feel, use the same shortcut keys, and also provide a drag-and-drop option. The applications are developed using the GNOME 2.3 development platform. An application developed using this platform is also called a GNOME-compliant application. For example, the file manager and the Gedit Text Editor are GNOME-compliant applications.
