You can edit your ~/.gtkrc-2.0 file. See the FAQ:

True... any chance of some .debs, anyone? (Jan?)
It's something that can really benefit from being packaged for a
particular distro so it will appear as a choice on the login screen...

Probably, if it's new enough. Anyone know if GNOME2's manager has these
options?

Not if my inbox is anything to go by  I hope the Gtk developers know
how many emails they're going to get when GNOME2 comes out...

Just put the operations on the SendTo menu, then select a file and do
SendTo->CVS->Update, etc.

How do I find files in the whole system?

First of all a huge thank you for such a marvellous product.  The size,
simplicity, speed and efficiency of ROX-filer fair took my breath away
after having played rather unhappily with Konqueror and Nautilus.  It has
truly transformed my system administration.	I have recently started using the Find
function which is terrific apart from the fact I cannot see a simple way
of searching the whole file system.  I'm sure there must be; can anyone
enlighten me please?

Go to / and Select All, Find? Although 'locate' is probably more useful
for that...

Where is the Pager

Where can I find the pager for the Panel as seen on the Screenshot page?

Rox helped me to get rid of ultra-heavy KDE that slowed my machine (PII450-386Mb) like a crawl, and more!, it
does not re-arrange the icons randomply at restarts whenever it wants!

Great software, only I lack the pager on the panel to play like MacOs X (shouldn't be RiscOS? 

Ciao,

Lorenzo

Thanks, but then GNOME complains about the window manager being
not gnome-compliant (although i use sawfish...) and some gnome
progs segfault.

I'm trying that right now.

You need to put (require 'gnome) in your .sawfishrc file (see the filer's
manual...)
