I would also point out that iconified programs are the hallmark of CDE
(Solaris' default environment) where they are a pain in the hind quarters.
Just try and select that icon when you have a lot of windows open - over the
icons... I much prefer BB's method of dealing with iconified programs
because I can quickly restore them in any virtual desktop I like. My only
real gripe with BB is that there is no "sticky" button, making an app stick
between virtual desktops. Everthing else seems to be fixable with external
programs. (yes, I know - there is a "sticky" menu option - but you have to
click to get feedback. A button is immediately obvious)
Anyway, if you suggest too many new features around here, you will
immediately be pounced upon as a "feature creep"! ;)
