Same problem for me in Unity-2d in Ubuntu Precise 12.04.1 and Nautilus 3.4.2 ...
I found a workaround to recover the progress window: wmctrl wmctrl -l List the windows being managed by the window manager. wmctrl -a <WIN> Switch to the desktop containing the window <WIN>, raise the window, and give it focus. See wmctrl(1) - Linux man page http://linux.die.net/man/1/wmctrl It does the trick! But it is just a workaround! I miss Lucid on that one.... ctrl-alt-tab does not work (nor alt-tab...) at all for me... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/849733 Title: No icon in notification area while transfering files To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/849733/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
