Can anyone tell me the method used to determine the ordering of items in the task bar (say in a top-edge panel)? It's clear that windows from the same application are put next to one another, and usually the order, for me, is (from left to right): - OpenOffice windows - Terminal windows - Netscape windows - XEmacs windows - other stuff (like gv, xpdf, etc.) but I've seen several different orders, and there don't seem to be any discernable patterns, including anything to do with the order windows were opened (for example, as I write this, my Netscape windows are at the left end, before my terminal windows, although they were opened afterwards). More generally, is there any way to exercise control over where windows appear on the taskbar? -- Todd Wilson A smile is not an individual Computer Science Department product; it is a co-product.
