mandrivsen Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 I am not using KDE but GNOME instead. After rebooting I got a message that an application list could not be recovered I answered NO to the question Reload (y/n) since it kept failing to retrieve it. Now whenever I minimize an application window it disappears into the nowhere-land, and it does not appear on my panel, at the bottom. Most of the minimized applications are accumulating inaccessible beyond my reach, and no way to reactivate them! I checked ".gconf/apps/panel/toplevels/" directory for another user where it is working and I noticed that ".gconf/apps/panel/toplevels/bottom_panel/%gconf.xml" was missing todether with its directory "bottom_panel". I created the missing things, they are now identical for both users, of course also the ownership is correct. However, this did not change anything! I remember this already happened to me once, and I had to reload the OS and my of course all my data and configurations. This is almost prohibitive at this point! Does anybody know how to solve this problem. [moved from Software by spinynorman] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theYinYeti Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 You could try adding the "task list" to your panel. I think it disappeared and that's why you don't see applications anymore. Yves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
