It is enabled, but you need to use CTRL+I (in some applications, CTRL+T
is needed).

KDE is what's covered in the course materials, and is what's in the exam.

My course materials are GNOME. The exam I took was KDE.

Of course it doesn't hurt to know both, but I found when I took it that
deep knowledge of either environment was not necessary.

Hmmm...Thanks much for the clarification, guys.

KDE, eh? That is really strange, as our course was taught in GNOME.
Obviously the command line is command line, but still that seems like an
uneccesary curve-ball. What's up, Novell?

Perhaps I was mistaken - I've looked at so many different exams lately, I
might be remembering an older exam that was done in KDE. If the course
is taught using GNOME, then GNOME must be what's in the environment in
the exam.

I'm a hardcore GNOME user myself, so I didn't really pay attention when I
took my CLP exam, but thinking about it again, it would've been GNOME
because I didn't have to search for things. :-)

(I'm the testing program manager now, and the scenario we use for setting
up new centers is based on the old NNLS setup, which uses KDE - that must
be what I'm remembering)
