http://ubuntuforums.org – When I have multiple windows open, I'll want to have both windows open. When I click the open session on the panel, it brings up the requested open window - but hides the other windows from view. How to I do this selection w/out hiding the other open windows? Thanks again for your help. (Hardware)
