This is a subtle but annoying problem: Suppose I have about a dozen
windows open on various desktops, so that there is a full row of icons
(buttons?) for them arranged across the top of each desktop. When I
start an application which opens yet another window, two things happen
(but in the wrong order!): first, the application window appears nestled
up against the top (single) row of icons; next, the icon for that
application is created... but since the first row is "full," it creates
a SECOND row of icons, which now cover up the drag-bar of the
application I just opened. The result is that the new window cannot be
dragged anywhere, since the second row of icons are covering the one
part of it that I might use to move it elsewhere.
The only solution I have come up with is to kill some other window,
thereby reducing the icons back to one row and letting me relocate the
offending window. A better (hard-coded) solution would be for the icons
to be generated, and their rows arranged, *before* the application
window is created and docked.
Running Red Hat 6.1, Kernel 2.2.12-20 on PII-450.
Thanks!
