Minimizing a window
Dear SuSE Community, Why is it that when I minimize any program's window, it disappears? Can't I set up a sort of "Taskbar", like it is on the Mac and Windows where a minimized window can be restored or maximized? Thanks. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Which box are you selecting in the top/right corner of the window? When minimized there should be a selection on the taskbar. Also once again more info needed! What version of SUSE, which desktop are you using? These things all make a difference on getting a correct answer.

Hi Ken, 1. The box I'm selecting is two boxes to the left of the "X" (the Close box). 2. I'm using SuSE Linux Professional 9.0. 3. My desktop is KDE. Sam _________________________________

I also faced the same problem when i was running Debian some time back. There was no indication on the task bar after the wondow was minimized. However you can recover the window by alt+tab.

What procedure are you using to minimize the window? Your system has no "taskbar"? There should already be one!
