When you minimize it, it should be on taskbar. X programs in general use taskbar. But not all programs are from X. Use 'ps aux' and see how many programs you have in your system. It may not be a good idea to have them all on taskbar. But that's offtopic.

Strange. Graphical programs should always appear in the task bar. Did you change something?

yes... i removed mozilla and galeon... hmmmmmm
will it really affect gnome desktop?

Maybe you removed (or moved somewhere) the script that makes the taskbar? Look into taskbar options.

Try doing this: right click on your panel (in microsoft terms, the taskbar), point to add to panel, utility, and click window list. Does this work?
