Some people start new gnome-terminal windows either via "right-click -> New Window" or via "Ctrl + left-click". Assuming you refer to the Favourites bar at the left.
Well, I prefer to double-click on an icon on my desktop. Not the funny- looking "Favorites" bar that I have to play finger gymnastics to open. I prefer to have simple, ordinary icons that are always available on my desktop to double-click on. They always worked just fine. Or, at least, until F20.
So, I just tried it, just for kicks and giggles. So, the "recommended" way:* Hit the top right corner with the pointer. Doesn't work. Hit it again. The favourites bar slides in from the right. Yay.
* Move the pointer again. Rearrange your fingers to execute a ctrl-left click.
* A new minituarized window appears somewhere else on the screen.* Rearrange the fingers again, to position the pointer to the new miniatured window.
* Click it to move the input focus there. Versus: * Move the pointer to an icon on the desktop. Double click on it. WTF is wrong with Gnome? Don't answer that. It's a rhetorical question.
