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 Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/849733 Title: No icon in notification area while transfering files Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: According to this bug report ( https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=657561 ), Nautilus should bring up an icon in the notification area while doing file operations.
