How do I GET RID of the GNOME INTERFACE

To set your account to stop using the Gnome/Sawfish new interface,
you can open the panel menu (the item with the footprint), and open
the "Settings" submenu.  The bottom option in Settings is "Revert to
Dash."  Once you've selected this, future login sessions will use the
old interface rather than the new one. 

If you don't have a panel or this isn't working for you, then you can
type:

	athena% touch ~/.athena_dash_interface

and this will also tell Athena to use the old interface the next time
you log in.

If you change your mind and decide you want to go *back* to
Gnome/Sawfish, you can remove this file:

        athena% rm ~/.athena_dash_interface	       

and this will again take effect the next time you log in.
