Links: Notes: Watching back over the show, I realized what I did wrong with the dockbar; I put a space in the name "Dock Bar" when I created the folder in /home/robbie. I had forgotten during the live demonstration: Avant does not like spaces. Leave out the space (make it "dockbar") and also do not put spaces in the Launcher name (ie. GIMP instead of "The GIMP" - then, it will work. Ha - I caught the fact that I called Hardy "7.04"--which would actually be Feisty. It seems I lost a year in my mind and I really don't have an explanation for why I thought we were in 2007 - haha!
