How mute Login some time ago had considered the possibility of having a notebook to jot down some ideas, thoughts or important things I did not want to forget. I know that in the past I had good ideas but do not have written anywhere and I've forgotten or lost forever.
The problem is that writing on paper is not properly secured (you can lose) and, above all, time-consuming. (At least I took longer to write with pen and paper to keyboard).
was so Diary discovery excited me enough. Diary is a small and lightweight application that serves well for the purposes of daily life personal blog (not to be confused with blogging). Among other features, Diary features: spell checking, data encryption, searching and printing of tickets and the use of links (to websites and files.)
Due to its simplicity, was the program that convinced me. Other alternatives that may interest you are: eJourn

Avant Window Navigator, for example. -
Well, googling around I found a forum - where detailed several ways to do it. One was closing gnome-panel and avoiding open each time you log on (System> Preferences> Sessions). However, in doing so, it also removed the command to "Run Application" (Alt-F2), which often has been useful.
So how more advisable to remove the last panel in GNOME seems to be through a tweak -
who hides permanently. To do this, do the following:
Runs GNOME Configuration Editor. Open "Run Application" (Alt-F2) and type gconf-editor
Go to the key / apps / panel / toplevels and select the panel stated (eg panel_0
). Edit the following parameters:
auto_hide
auto_hide_size

And goodbye | panel! |
How to remove the name of the icons on the desktop

Usage
The first time you open the program from Applications> Accessories> GNOME Do. Once executed, you invoke using the key combination: Super + Spacebar. (Super is the key between Ctrl and Alt is also known as the Windows key, yuck!). You will see a box like this:
Now write a word, such as "personal." The program will show in the first square to create the item you're looking for, such as "Personal Folder". In the second rectangle you get the command to run the program, in which case Run (Run). When press enter, the program will open a Nautilus window in your personal folder.
That is the basics of the program. Now let's do something a bit more complex. Suppose I want to move an image (Hitos.jpg) from the desktop to my personal folder:
invoke GNOME Do Super + Spacebar
- Click "hit" and the program recognizes the file "Hitos.jpg" and I suggested Open action (open)
- Because I want to open but not moving, Press TAB to move to the square of the right (action to perform). write "mo" and the program suggests to me the action "Move to" (move a. ..) so that I get a third square (target)
Press Tab again to move to the third square and click "jav" to show me my personal folder (whose name is "javier")
I press Enter. -
The program usually recognize the actions we want to do, but when it does not, we can still press the directional keys (up or down) to display a menu of options available. Other configurations
By default, GNOME Do indexes the Main Menu items and your personal folder (not subfolders). To tell the program what directory index we should edit the configuration file
~ / .config / gnome-do / FileItemSource.config
. The configuration format is FILE: sublevel. For example if we want to index a subfolder within Documents, we can add the line:
/ home / USERNAME / Documents: 1
either: -
- / home / USERNAME: 2
-
The difference is that the first is restricted to a sub-level within documents, while the second includes two levels of subdirectories within the entire home folder (including Documents). In case you want to index all the sublevels within a directory can put -
