*nods* I do/did. I got it fixed.. I'm not exactly sure how it involved a bit of blind playing around with the command line options but I'm not sure that actually fixed it. somehow I popped up a prefernces dialog and went right through that and unchecked or deselected anything that looked like it might have saved setup or session or window positon etc.. seems to have worked but not what I'd call an elegant solution since if it happened again now I'd be just as stuck with what to do. And I know for a fact if I managed to get that prefernces dialog up again it'd be luck :-) FWIW it's Gnome 1.4 on Woody using sawfish. I kinda forget about the tasklist running up there I must admit. When it was running before it was visible on the lower panel as an icon/button with all the other programs/windows I had open. but when I clicked on it to restore/maximaise it nothing happened it just remained minimised there on the panel. It was highlighted as being selected but didn't pop up on the screen in the expected manner.. It's fixed but as I said that was more luck than good management I'm still curious as to what it was and how to fix it.
