[NTLUG:Discuss] Viewing Applications from all workspaces on the taskbar - in Gnome

[David Simmons]

Guys,

Here's a little tid-bit that might help others.....if you
have applications running in different work-spaces.....you may notice that
the taskbar only shows the applications from your current
work-space.  If you're running 1000 things in many different
work-spaces, sometimes you'd like to just 'click' on that application and
have it take you there (rather than trying to hunt down where it's at).

To do this in Gnome is a bit tricky.  What you'll need to do
is click on the little bevel area to the left of any open windows (on the
taskbar).  What you're hoping to have pop-up is a window called
'Window List Preferences'.  Within this area - click on 'Show Windows
from all workspaces' rather than the default 'Show windows from current
workspace'.  Then click close....and wa-la!

HTH - dave
