As a work around, right click the deskbar applet, select preferences, and go to the "General" tab. Put a check mark in the option: Window Behavior "Stick to panel". Click Close at the bottom. To close the dialog box that deskbar creates when set this way, either hit the Esc key or click on the deskbar applet again.
I have found as long as deskbar does not create a separate detached window, the bug does not manifest. -- deskbar fails to grey screen after closing window https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/307421 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to deskbar-applet in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
