In Unity, at least you can open many instances but switching between the windows is little tricky. When the currently focused window is of program A and you want to switch to one of the many windows of program B, clicking the B's icon in the left panel (or using Alt+Tab to traverse to program B) will open the last accessed window of the program. Clicking the icon again will show a tiled view of all the windows of the program and you can click on the one you want. Using Alt+Tab to access the window that was not used last is more painful. You need to traverse to the app using Alt+Tab and press down arrow still holding the Alt key (or keep holding Alt key for few seconds) to get the tiled view of the open windows. May be Gnome 3 also has some similar ways, explore :) And I am used to having > icons for all my open programs neatly lined up along the bottom of my > screen, and clicking the one I want.

I was thinking that most of the programmers or anyone who uses keyboard more use Alt+Tab rather than clicking. -- Vignesh Nandha Kumar http://vigneshnandhakumar.in _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
