I'm running the latest updates of Ximian Gnome on two different Redhat
7.3 PC's.  I recently noticed that when I right-click on the desktop, I
get two completely different menus.  After some investigation I figured
out that one PC is running gmc, and the other is running nautilus. 

One difference between the two PC's is one is a newer install than the
other, which has been upgraded from older Redhat and Ximian releases.

Now for the obvious question:  How can I switch between gmc & nautilus?

Question #2:  On the nautilus PC, how can I add a program launcher icon
directly to the desktop?  On the gmc PC, it has the desktop menu option
of "New -> Launcher".  There is no such option on the nautilus.  I've
been doing it by adding a icon to the panel, dragging it to the
background, and deleting it from the panel.  Is there an easier way?
