minimized applications disappear

#1 Post by JBoman »

When I minimize applications including browsers they disappear and I can no longer find them. Where do they go and how do I get them back?; also, how do you add items to the panel and why do minimized apps not go to the panel?. Thanks

Since you are running antiX, it would help to know which version, and which desktop manager you have selected, since antiX comes with several and the answer may be different (for example) for Icewm than it is for Fluxbox.

I installed xfce through synaptic so maybe something missing there.

Well try what is in the MX Users Manual, Customization > Panel subsection. May not all work for you.

antix16, disappears running rox-icewm and running xfce
I cannot reproduce the problem here running live. I see tabs for minimized windows in IceWM and in xfce (installed via the meta-package installer) in the taskbar/panel.
