Re: Minimizing apps to desktop

KDE and Gnome are desktop environments. They use different window managers by default - KWin for KDE and Metacity for Gnome. What you need is to change the window manager, probably with WindowMaker you'll get the desired effect. --- Offer Kaye <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > Under the CDE wind

Hi, I found the reason, and how to solve it... The thing is, that everytime something with Alsa/oss try to use it without freeing the device after it finish using it, I can not access the device. I found that if I'm able kill/close the connection I need to wait until the system free the resource p

Hi, I'm assuming that you're trying to open /dev/dsp more than once at the same time. Some sound chips allow that -- they will let you open more than one channel at the same time and mix the streams in hardware. Others don't support this. For that there's the "dmix" alsa plugin which will do th

Minimizing apps to desktop

2007-09-30 Thread Offer Kaye
Hi, Under the CDE window manager, when I minimize an application window, it minimizes to the desktop. Or at least there is the option to have this behavior. Under Gnome I couldn't find an option to do this - the desktop is "Windows like", with the desktop icons being shortcuts only to run an appli
