GNOME panel problem

Hello.

I can't seem to find what I'm looking for in any of the GNOME 
documentation so maybe someone here will know what I'm talking about and 
point me in the correct direction.

I've recently installed RH 7.2 and was happy to see it came with an 
updated GNOME.  At first, the new GNOME panel would show four little 
screens that alt-F2, alt-F3, etc. would let me change to.  The GNOME 
panel also USED to show an icon for each program I had open.  Then when 
playing with it I learned it could show an ICON for each progam and if 
you clicked the icon it would show you the list of windows the program 
had open.  Very cool for when running a program like the GIMP that 
usually opens 3 windows before you even open a file.  But now neither of 
these features are on my panel.  Finding out how to fix this is 
problematic because I don't know what GNOME calls these features.  For 
some reason, the GNOME panel manual omits any discussion of them, as far 
as I can tell, and instead focuses on adding application launchers and 
moving the panel to new sides of the screen.

Do you know the names of these features? Or how to restore them?

Thanks,

--Damon
