ok I've started using Linux ubuntu since yesterday and I would like to know if there is any way to make each desktop's taskbar independant.....by this I mean that 4 example if Im using firefox in one desktop I dont want it to appear in another desktop's taskbar....is it possible??
ok I now know kubuntu but my opinion is that it looks to much like windows vista??...maybe Im wrong but thats the feeling I got after looking at reddazz's kubuntu vs ubuntu pictures...
Have you installed Ubuntu 7.10? Could you check the the version of the gnome panel: right click the panel -> 'about panel' It should say 2.20.1
The default behavior of this gnome version should already be like you want it.
yes its 2.20.1 but it seems like I maybe changed something and thats why this happened....but I dont know what I did....but the thing is if I was able to turn it on....Im supposed to be able to turn it off right?
There is a way to play with this setting. Are you using the Compiz cube by chance? That is what I was having issues with. I had to play with compiz-config to tell it to show 4 workspaces, instead of one, I believe. I had to do some searching myself to figure it out. If this still isn't solved when I get to my home computer, I'll post more.
1: Right click on Windows List handle (two columns of grey dots to the left of the application)
2: Choose Preferences from menu
3: Under "Windows List Content" choose "Show Windows From Current Workspace".
4: Open a window in another workspace, then switch back to first workspace. Does the new window's title show up on the panel in the first workspace? If not then everything's groovy.
