Hi,
Probably a silly question but how does one open a program more than once with unity?
Example 1. If I open Virtualbox from the icon on the unity dashboard, start a virtual machine then close the Virtualbox main window I can not open the main window to load another virtualbox without first shutting down the virtual machine. (when I click on the virtualbox window it brings the virtual machine to the front instead of opening the Virtualbox manager).
Example 2. If I open my home folder, start copying something from one drive to another and close the home folder again I can not open my home folder again till the copy is finished. (when I click on the home folder icon it brings the file operations window to the front instead of opening the home folder).
Another little irritation is when I use TSclient and minimise an open remote desktop connection then click on tsclient again It opens the tsclient window and I have to reconnect to get the remote window open again or ALT+TAB.
is there somewhere I can change this?
I did a search on google and here but can't find a solution.
edit: I have found that when I open applications then search for the program I can open it from there but this is a few extra steps I do not like to much.
