minimize window problem


Dear all,
When I was in the x-window of Redhat 9.0, if I press the minimize button of the window, the window is minimized into the right-bottom corner of the screen. No button represents the window is left for me to reactivate the window.

However, I am sure the window is not closed. But I can not restore the window to use it.

anyone knows how to deal with this?

thanks

Hi,
Try ALT-TAB keyboard command (hold ALT down then press TAB). You should see your window options in the middle of the screen. I run mandy 9.1 and sometimes i'll have some windows open but they won't show on the bottom (sometimes) like in windows. Don't know why, just does.
Hope that helps
RANDON

Yes it works. but I still want to know how to configure the system so that the window will minimize to the work space at the bottom.

Thanks

If your using kde click the double vertical dots on the panel, and you'll see your mimimized programs.

I use Gnome. the minimized window can be viewed only when I use alt-tab. when I minimize it, it will minimize to the right bottom corner, not in the work space bar at the bottom.
It is not conveinient for me.
Still, hope someone know the solution,,
thank you anyway

In case you are still having this problem, I do have the same problem here using Redhat 9.0. Also uses GNOME, this is what I did,

Right Click on the panel and choose Add to Panel - Utility - Windows List

Hope that is what you wanted. Works fine for me instead of having to do the ALT-TAB
