Heh, forgot about that button. It does let you scroll through workspaces without losing your Mumble window, but you have to click it every time you minimize and restore. Thanks, it's more usable now :)
Fluxbox is a power tool: a fast, lightweight, functional windowmanager most people wouldn't know what to do with. Its ancestor Blackbox is even lighter and faster. I had a poke at blackbox. The Mumble UI was designed with the assumption that whatever it was running on would have a system tray. What's weird is that minimizing in blackbox *works*, even though it lacks any kind of system tray. And it doesn't lose the window when scrolling through workspaces. > > Hrmmm.
