screenshot gnome desktop ** Description changed:
I use Ubuntu 8.10 with an DELL XPS 1330, keyboard with "Microsoft Windows" key. I customized Ubuntu a little bit, so that the "Microsoft Windows" key on my keyboard minimizes all open windows. If I hit this key once again all of my running application should maximize. Unfortunately, all my application windows get now lost. I can't find the application windows on my Gnome GUI anymore. Only the last used application window maximizes again. I tried the following to get the other application windows back on my Gnome GUI (with no success): 1) pressing "Microsoft Windows" key once again (this should maximize all minimized windows) - no reaction 2) using ALT + Tab (should open a special window showing all running applications) - nothing found (Sometimes the behavior is a little bit different. Using ALT + Tab shows the running application. But If I focus on it, it does not open the application window, but disappears even from the ALT + Tab menu.) 3) using "show desktop" panel applet - no reaction 4) This even happens if I use the minimize button at the upper left of a gnome application. 5) I controlled if some applications went to one of the three other virtual desktops - nothing found This bug happens with: firefox, thunderbird, pdf viewer, sometimes with openoffice. This bug is very enervating. Please help me! + + Additional information: + I randomly moved around within the four virtual desktops. Sometimes some application windows appear, but I can't move them around or even close. I've added a screenshot of my gnome desktop to my description. ** Tags added: gnome ** Attachment added: "screenshot gnome desktop" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/21057609/Bildschirmfoto.png -- GNOME GUI: command "close all windows" makes application windows lost https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/315419 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
