I'm running either kubuntu or ubuntu 12.04.. sorry i can't remember which one it is right now, but when I minimize a window from the internet or from an application, it just disappears into thin air.. It doesn't minimize to a bar at the bottom of the screen.. I'm not sure how to fix this. Thanks

Use Alt+Tab to restore a minimized window in the current workspace. There is no longer a traditional task bar. Or use the Launcher and click on the icon for a running application to bring its window up wherever it is.

it's one of the problems with Unity i think


certain programs just don't like minimizing to the unity bar


you could try using AWN if alt-tab is too annoying
