If you are in WinXP and, I think, past versions of windows, there is an option on the task-bar properties page right under the Auto-hide checkbox to "Keep taskbar on top of other windows". That must also be checked to keep the taskbar's "single-hidden line" on top, so it can catch your mouse movement.
Might also try pressing the "Windows" key to see if the menu pops up (should also bring up task bar) or ctrl-ESC (same as single press of windows key, but can't be used as a modal- or shifted- "Windows key). Other than that, it could be an option, bug or feature for those who might want a completely "X" desktop, I suppose....;^). Linda Thomas Gilgin wrote:
Hi list, I use an auto hiding taskbar. If an application, e.g. xterm or a native windows application is maximized, the task bar does not appear if the mouse pointer is moved to the border of the desktop. If no window is maximized, it works as expected. Is this a bug or my fault? :-) Best regards, Thomas Gilgin -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
