I think you might be referring to the Task List or Window List plugin.
If you are referring to the icons created when an app is opened then
you need to open the settings for thst plugin. Your panel should have
a plugin list, and one of those plugins controls your application
buttons.
Yes, I think you are close to Dick's problem. I suspect that his
buttons are in a panel plugin called 'Window Buttons.' Right click
anywhere in the panel and select 'Panel,' which should open a popup for
making changes to the panel. Select 'Add new items' and scroll down the
list of installed items. If you see 'Window Buttons' then my guess was
right.
To change the settings in the Window Buttons plugin just right click
anywhere in it (between the buttons, or at the end of it, not on an
actual button), and select Properties. (This can take some precise
mouse work.) In the popup look for 'sorting order,' among the other
options. There is a scroll down box and if you select 'none, allow drag
and drop' you will be able to drag them anywhere in the Window Buttons
plugin.
What I had to do was have only a couple programs open so there was lots
of room to the right. I right clicked on that blank space and got a
pop-up menu with Panel at the bottom. Clicking on that gave me another
menu with Panel Preferences on it. In the Items tab I had to double
click on Window Buttons to get its properties. One of the options is
Sorting order, one of which is "None, allow drag-and-drop". That's what
I needed. The trick was discovering by trial and error that double
clicking on the Window Buttons entry in the Items tab of Panel was how
to get to the properties of Window Buttons. Right clicking on that
doesn't do anything.
Thanks, John.
