some lenny problems



Ok I just did a fresh install of lenny (so using default gnome
settings, default metacity settings, default X settings) and I have 3
problems.

1) There is no bottom gnome panel only the top panel. I want to add
the bottom panel which shows the minimized windows, the virtual
workspaces, etc.. And I want this to show up in every session.

2) Common packages I could find easily in Ubuntu 9.04 are not in my
package caches (and yes I just ran apt-get update) such as xchat and
epic4. I know Debian is more restrictive but what can I add to my
/etc/apt/sources.list to get these and other apps. Here is my
sources.list:

#
# deb-src cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 5.0.1 _Lenny_ - Official
Multi-architecture i386/amd64/source DVD #1 20090413-04:09]/ lenny
main
# deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 5.0.1 _Lenny_ - Official
Multi-architecture i386/amd64/source DVD #1 20090413-04:09]/ lenny
main
#

deb-src cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 5.0.1 _Lenny_ - Official
Multi-architecture i386/amd64/source DVD #1 20090413-04:09]/ lenny
main
deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 5.0.1 _Lenny_ - Official
Multi-architecture i386/amd64/source DVD #1 20090413-04:09]/ lenny
main


deb http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main

deb http://volatile.debian.org/debian-volatile lenny/volatile main
deb-src http://volatile.debian.org/debian-volatile lenny/volatile main

3) Some apps start up with window dimensions that are larger than my
screen height and thus "fall off" the bottom of the screen! This
happened with Iceweasel. How can I fix this so that *all* apps will be
forced to resize their window dimensions so as to fit within my screen
resolution?

Thanks!
Zach
