Gnome File manager -- right-click menu missing "open in new window"
Previously (Fedora 17 and earlier) right-button click on a directory icon produced a menu which included "open in new window".
I've been having an issue with clicking and dragging icons and windows on my desktop. What ends up happening is I will click and hold on an icon and begin to drag it. The icon does not move. I let go of the mouse button, click on it again, and it immediately opens up (almost like it was double clicked).
I installed Fedora 17 including all updates. I need to browse the Windows network where I can access and/or view the available shares (folders and printers). I cannot browse the Windows computers on the network. When I open Files from the Favorites bar and click on Browse Network, I see the "Windows Network" icon.
Is it possible with Xfce 4.8 (Xubuntu 12.04) to have windows minimized on double-clicking the window frames? So, for example, if File Manager is open, to just double-click on the window frame and the the window "disappears" (is minimized to the panel). It would be great if there was a "simple" solution not having to install heavy additional packages.
Let's say that you have multiple firefox windows open. What you see happen is an additional arrow points to it's icon in the launcher. However, if you double click the icon, it displays all of the windows in a spread out fashion.
On Windows, when I click on a taskbar icon the window maximizes, and when I click on it again it minimizes.
On Ubuntu, when I click on a taskbar icon the window maximizes, when I click on it again it does nothing ( I have to manually click on the minimize button).
Is there a way to attain the same behavior like on windows?
Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS
If you have multiple windows of one program and you click the icon twice in the launcher, it will pan out and show all the windows of the program.
Here's my issue.
AllTray is an application which docks other application software into the system tray (“notification area”) of a desktop environment such as GNOME, KDE, or XFCE. It aims to be independent of both desktop environment and window manager.
With AllTray you can dock any application with no native tray icon (like Evolution, Thunderbird, Terminals) into the system tray.
Whenever I run QJoyPad and then try to click the little QJoyPad Icon in the system tray it won't allow me to create a layout.
When rightclicking the icon it brings up a tiny menu that says:
Code:
Joysticks: 1
Update Layout List
Update Joystick devices
No Layout
Quit
I read somewhere that left clicking the icon should allow you to setup a layout, but whenever I left click it brings up that
