Another possible alternative "solution": Right now I have compiz set to show window previews when I hover over buttons in the taskbar. This also works in gnome-do, but when there are multilple windows grouped under the same icon, it only shows one of them.
Would there be any way to set up gnome do such that it showed previews of all the grouped windows at once when you hover over the icon? Then if you could simply mouse up to one of the previews / thumbnails and click on it to bring that window to the front, it would be excellent. I think it would address all of the concerns expressed here. I do think the scrolling feature is very cool; but I've been using gnome-do for a while and I had no idea it was even there until reading this just now. The previews would be easily discoverable and very convenient. And you could keep the existing scrolling functionality. (Also -- I believe any thinkpad should be configurable to scroll with the middle button and the trackpoint, or with the touchpad, or both. In any case this is possible to achieve on Ubuntu. You may have to do a bit of googling.) -- Hard to switch between windows grouped by an icon https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/411174 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
