I certainly do not understand why it is so friggeringly obscure to make
the GUI bar with the recording button and other controls and clock
visble again.  The whole software is useless if the main recording
button cannot be seen and activated.  I don't know on what I clicked to
make it go away, but the remaining application screen, or a menu option
somewhere should provide a way to make it visible again. The control bar
became a floating window on its own, but now it's completely gone from
all desktops and the main application doe snot provide a mean to make
it part of the main GUI window as it was before.  Maybe I have to
downgrade to the previous version... hopefully the sessions newly
created are compatible with the previous version !

(1) ardour-users is the mailing list for this, as you've noted
(2) we cannot accomodate ALL window managers and their behaviour

Linux offers massive flexibility with things like window managers. This comes with a price.

You've already figured out (based on the mail to ardour-users) what to click on. The rest - we can't control for this and keep every Linux user happy.

What window manager do you use?
