Hi All! Running Fedora/Gnome on my notebook successfully for the last year or more, until last week. Now when I minimize a window, rather than showing up on the panel, it just disappears into the lower right hand corner of the screen. The app is still running, but I haven't been able to find a way to get the window(s) back. When I log out, all of the lost windows come back for a second just before Xwindows (?) shuts down. This seemed to start after a application running under WINE crashed after filling up a file system, but I'm not 100% sure. The installed OS is, I believe, the original Fedora release, but I run up-to-date fairly regularly (last time perhaps a month ago). While I am not a Linux newbie, I am, by no means a guru either, and as such am hoping someone can suggest a fix, or at least point me in the right direction to start looking. I have looked thru the system logs without finding anything that looked related, the panel functionality seems normal; the usual icons and applets are present, and work as advertised. The only thing I have noticed is that the work-place switcher is gone. I can move between workplaces using the hot-key combination; the missing windows aren't on another work-place either. I have switched to the KDE desktop until I can get GNOME fixed; if nothing else I will try the old Windoze trick; fdisk, setup.exe, but that's a last resort. Any help or suggestions greatly appreciated. TIA!
