I think I found the problem (at least I think so) apparently (I'm guessing that I hit <ctrl> q by accident), but the system / firefox was so busy that it took something like 15 minutes to shut down. But, just to answer the question you asked: Well, yes, I think so (I run kde 4.8.4 -- the "current" version in Wheezy, but if I minimize a window the icon (or whatever the right word is) still remains on my tool bar so I can re- establish the window by clicking on it. Anyway, I guess it is all good now -- thanks for your help!
