Hi Ted,
Normally in the list of applets (Add to Panel) you have window selector and window list - the first being the little pop-up menu ( this is what I use ) and the second being a clone of Microsoft Windows' taskbar, which seems to be what you're describing - maybe it's simply the odd name that's foxing you?
Right! Though what had foxed me is the following.
I had in fact tried both of those.
The Window Selector as you describe is the popup menu, which I do not want. When I tried the second, I found that what I got did not show what I expected in a workspace with several xterm windows: simply a single "xterm" icon with no further info, and only if I clicked on it would I then get a popup list of the windows which I could then use to select.
What I had not realised was that the "Window Selector" is associated with a narrow grey vertical strip which corresponds to the real app, and this had been placed close to the left-hand end of the workspace switcher, leaving a small gap. As a result, all of the windows in that workspace got "rolled into" the one icon within that gap, and no "tabs" (as I was used to) were shown.
Then it occurred to be (following your description above) to move the grey strip along to the extreme left. Once there was room, tabs for all the separate windows appeared in the panel!
So, problem solved now! Thanks. Ted.
