Gnome does have a tool to minimize all open apps that you can put on your taskbar, but I think it is handier to use the virtual workspace switcher to jump to an empty desktop to open the new app, then if I leave it open a long time, move it to one of the cluttered desktops to keep at least one empty. With this technique the switcher works just like you would expect tabs to work. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell@xxxxxxxxx
