Bob, I see what is your problem. The list of running windows is done through Window List applet. There is another applet which might be useful for you. Right click on the panel -> "Add to Panel..." and select "Window Selector" applet. This will add to your panel small button and if you will click on it you will find list of all running windows. At the same time you can remove Window List applet.
hope this will help best Michal Pryc Bob Friesenhahn wrote: > I am using latest Solaris 10 as of August. I have been using > Motif/CDE on Solaris since 1993 and used olvwm before that.
