Screenshot of media player applet, when 36 windows of Gwenview are opened
SUMMARY
A problem specific to me, but perhaps somebody has the same problem. I'm
listening to music, using some audio player (for example Strawberry). In the
same time I have 36 windows of Gwenview opened, in every window is a photo of
my friends. I love those photos, so I want them to be opened simultaneously in
36 windows, one window per photo. All of those Gwenview windows register
themselves as media player and the top of media player applet is littered by
Gwenview icons, which even don't fit in the space in top of the applet. If I
want to stop playing music in Strawberry and play something in Firefox, and
then switch back to Strawberry, I can't, because I'm even not able to point to
icon of Strawberry in the top of the applet. I have attached screenshot, to
show you the problem. I would like to have an option to exclude particular
programs from registering themselves as media player in this applet. Then I
would exclude Gwenview, because I don't need to command Gwenview from this
applet.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open way more windows of, for example, Gwenview, than you think you can, for
example 40 windows of Gwenview, and observe, that each Gwenview window
registers itself as media player in applet.
