This is documented in the GNOME 2.10 release notes.  I'm now using
mail/mail-notification as a replacement, but it is not as real-time as
the applet used to be.

It's a purple icon next to the flashing monitors.

|

|     custom application menu back.  see just to the right of the
|     main menu foot in
|        <http://rip.psg.com/~randy/panel.jpg>
|     for my 2.8 panel section.  sorry, i could not figure out how
|     to take a screenshot while the hierarchic menu folder was
|     open.

I just create custom drawers, and that works fine in GNOME 2.10.

|
| and totem now smacks me when i try to play a vcd, whining
| "OSS device "/dev/dsp" is already in use by another program."
| when nothing is using sound that i can see.
|
|     # lsof | grep -i dsp
|     # lsof /dev/dsp

Check your gstreamer audio settings.  Alternatively, you could recompile
totem with libxine support if it works better for you.
