I think I've finally figured it out why some icons are disappearing from the launcher.
Another test case: * Make sure you have no browser running * Install Netbeans 7.2.1: prefer the JavaEE version * If everything went fine, you should end up with a desktop shortcut. Run it. * It should add two icons to the launcher: only the second one points to the real app, while the first is useless (this is very annoying by itself, but that's not the main point) * Create a new web application: File -> New project -> Java Web -> Web Application * Run the project: Run -> Run project Supposing you already have Firefox locked to the launcher (and again, it wasn't running before you started this test), surprise: Firefox starts, but nowhere you can find its icon, neither at the launcher nor at the alt+tab list. The only way you can focus Firefox again is using Super + w. Update: as if it wasn't odd enough... Turns out if I click the first Netbeans icon (the useless one), Firefox shows up. So it seems that, at least for a Unity point of view, the parent process (Netbeans) somewhat "owns" the child process (Firefox). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/995916 Title: No launcher icon or Alt+Tab entry for Gimp windows To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bamf/+bug/995916/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
