In order to simplify the process, I have made a package which did the configuration , so that you don't need to set gnome for netbook remix environment:
Source code :
https://code.launchpad.net/~benlau/ubuntu-eeepc-config/trunk
Installation (include netbook remix):
Add the lines below into source list:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/netbook-remix-team/ubuntu hardy main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/netbook-remix-team/ubuntu hardy main
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/benlau/ubuntu hardy main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/benlau/ubuntu hardy main
then
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install go-home-applet human-netbook-theme maximus ume-launcher window-picker-applet eeepc-netbook-remix-config
Newly created account would use netbook remix environment automatically. For existing account , it take one more step to complete the installation . (Warning! It will delete gnome's bottom panel and remove all of the applet in your top panel)
Type the following commands in your terminal:
Then restart gnome. Netbook remix will be running on your machine.gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel
gconftool --recursive-unset /desktop/gnome/applications/window_manager
