I have just reinstalled Fedora 8 and most things seem to be working OK. BUT, when I am a user, when I minimize an application, instead of having it appear as a name in my task bar, it disappears and I can no longer find it. I know it's there because, if I go to log out, these "lost" applications are all listed as the logging out procedure executes. This behavior does not occur if I am logged in as root. Clearly, I have accidentally either activated or deactivated something I should not have but I have not the faintest idea what. I have been through every configuration file I can see but can identify NOTHING that seems to be related to this problem. I am going squirrely looking at all these obscure files! Any advice which can help me resolve this irritating behavior WILL BE MUCH APPRECIATED. CroombeFP
