It is running in the backgorund. ALT-TAB will get you back to that
application if you have hidden the "Task List".
I usually add the task list to the top bar and do away with bottom bar
altogether.

It is because the app is still running in its minimized form.

I don't have a bottom frame... I got rid of it. I have my menu bar and windows at the top. All these kinds of settings are deep within gconf-editor or in the one of the folders named something like ~/.gnome2. You shouldn't need to use those tools to find the look you want, though. -Scott Henry W.

Thanks much Scott! It does not appear on the bottom of the desktop window, but at the top... (at least not yet, didn't restart). But sure beats doing a reinstall...

Re: [Fwd: Re: Upgrading from Ubuntu 8.10 to Ubuntu Studio 8.10]
Does this overwrite the programs I installed outside of Ubuntu S. (as it suggests)? This would be very troubling. Could there be some 'appearance' I have or have not adjusted? Henry p.s., I did a test of the CD prior to installing... it came out w/ a clean bill of health.

Re: [Fwd: Re: Upgrading from Ubuntu 8.10 to Ubuntu Studio 8.10]
Well, my deed got done... Now reporting out from Ubuntu Studio 8.10...
Looks very impressive, seems quicker than Ubuntu regular... probably
more work organizing, compacting, optimizing... More work to do... But
for now:
I have one rather foolish sounding question: When one minimizes a
window... where does it go to? Since there is a top frame to the
desktop window, no bottom, where I am used to such windows going (to).
For instance, I have 'RealPlayer 11' installed, & when I minimize
it, it disappears, but it continues playing... I click on the launcher
icon, which I have put on the top frame ('Add to Panel'), the player
hiccups, & continues playing, but the player it self does not show
(this is but one example).
What to do?
Thanks.
Henry

No. You cannot. That will install the -desktop and -settings packages
that will conflict with Ubuntu. Actually, you might not be able to do
it. :) Been a while since I looked into it. :P

Re: Upgrading from Ubuntu 8.10 to Ubuntu Studio 8.10
Thanks all for your replies. I think I'll just back up my addresses, a few files... & try a clean install of Ubuntu Studio 8.10. & now that many of the programs I am interested in are included in the basic system... I can work with these questions... first, & then go back to 8.04.1 if need be. Just guessing here, but I have been trying to get my Echo MiaMidi card to input s/pidf sound into Ardour for oh so long, that I think by the time I get a work(around?) sound connect... the -rt kernel will most probably be working for 8.10 ( :-) ). & now that I have a higher speed connect... getting my seemingly rather complex setup up, will (hopefully!) not be quite such a slow pain (brothers & sisters, let us not forget those yet on the lowly dial-up routine!). I look forward to this next step, & do appreciate that there are some dedicated doers here to help out...
