Helmut Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 (edited) Running Gnome, after minimizing a window you can't find it again. Its just gone, nothing to click on the taskbar, just gone. (Running KDE it would be Right-click on the KDE panel --> Add to Panel --> Applet --> Taskbar. But I'm running Gnome. ) Any suggestions?

ianw1974 Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 When I use Gnome, I have the panel at the top which you launch apps from, and when I minimise, they go to a panel at the bottom of the screen. Do you have this panel at the bottom of the screen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helmut Posted May 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 (edited) I only have one single panel, and that is usually in vertical position. This is because I mostly work with either text documents or video frames of different aspect ratios. These range anywhere from 2.21:1 (Cinemascope) to 1:1 (pre 1925 silent movies). After right-clicking the gnome panel, I can't find any suitable applet in Gnome which would restore a minimized window.

ianw1974 Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 OK, in Gnome, there are normally two panels. One where you launch apps from, and another where they get minimised too. I'm not in Gnome right now, but I'll get in there shortly, and find out which option you need to get it back again. EDIT: OK, found it. Right click an existing panel, and choose New Panel. Then right click the new panel, and add to panel. Then choose Window List. Hopefully that does the trick. Not sure if there is a quicker and easier way :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helmut Posted May 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 (edited) Thanks both of you! Problem solved! In Gnome it is: rt-click the panel> Add to panel> Window List Cheers, Helmut Edited May 24, 2006 by Helmut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
