1) As regards the icons disappearing on the lower right (not left) side of the panel, this is probably a bug of the 5.2 version related to the graphics card you are using and the win7 look. You have the following options:

i) Either change the look to gnome-look and never have this problem again.
ii) Try to get the latest drivers for your GPU and see if that will help.
iii) Go to system>administration>startup applications and create one or even two more entries with "gnome-panel".
iv) Add the icons on the bar yourself (swarf will explain better how this is done).


2) The next release of Zorin (Zorin 6) is expected, hopefully, soon enough. Zorin 6 will be based on ubuntu 12.04 which is released officially in about 3 days. So, we are expecting that Zorin 6 will be released a little time after the release of ubuntu 12.04.

3) Unfortunatelly you cannot update from one release to the other (i.e. from core to ultimate). You have to save all your files and carry out a new clean installation of the new version. Wolfman can explain better how you can at least keep your home folder partition without losing data but this only works with the same releases i.e. from 5.2 core to 5.2 ultimate (not from 5.2 to 6 as they will be based in different gnome).

my question is:

What for to update Zorin wing version 6 is proved necessary to use the paid version (ultimate) or I can stay with the core version and still upgrade?
