I am running SuSE 11.1 on both my old laptop and a prehistoric desktop. The two installations are identical, as far as I can tell. However, on my laptop the upper right corner button, provided by the Windows Manager to resize the windows, is handled correctly, that is the window gets iconified and the icon ends up on the bottom menu bar from which it can be resized to its original size. On the prehistoric desktop, instead, such a button when selected causes the window to disappear from the screen leaving no trace of it anywhere. Why am I getting a different behaviour ? Is there anny option to set up the Window Manager so as to behave evenly ?
if your pre-historic is running KDE3, 4 or Gnome i _guess_ you need to right click on that "bottom menu bar" select (something like) "Add applet to panel" then find and click on (something like) "Task Bar"...which should add a place on the pre-historic's panel for the icons to land on..
I'd guess also that Maura is running KDE 4.1.3, as the default KDE 4 in 11.1, which had a propensity to lose components from its panel. I recommend a swift update to 11.2 when it becomes available.
