Why oh why does the window list applet on the task bar keep changing the size of the boxes it lists to indicate which apps are open? First, can somebody clue me in on the terminology here? We have the task bar, at the bottom of the screen by default. I've got a "show desktop" button on the far left, and a "workspace switcher" on the far right. In between I have a "window list" area. The window list area shows rectangular boxes that represent all the windows open (in this "workspace"). What do I call those rectangular representations? Second, when I open and close windows, or when the title of a window changes, those damned boxes change size. I've seen one stretch all the way across the entire window list area; I've seen several packed into two inches of space. There's no logic to it, I don't even think it's changing to fit the title. I have one window open now, Mozilla, and the length of the rectangular representation is a hair under twice the length of the title. Yet when I open up a gnome-terminal that area is split in half. Half is given to Mozilla, and half to gnome-terminal. The half given to Mozilla isn't long enough, now, to display the whole title, yet I still have half of the total window list area's worth of space to use!! How do I make it stop? I probably don't care about whatever rationale was put into making it do this, if there was one. I just want my window buttons to stay the same size all the time. -todd _______________________________________________ gnome-list mailing list gnome-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-list
