Running awn (relevant?). I'm used to clicking on a folders more than browsing the taskbar (or what it's called on the linux side of things). But when I do this to my home directory (or any other) repeatedly, a new version of that folder opens up, instead of just opening the existent one (and they don't stack like on windows), so in 15min my awn-bar is scaled down to a point where i have to wear a magnifying glass to see an icon.

Can I get icons to group up (folders, firefox instances, so on), and only open on version of folders. (like when i click on home, it'll switch focus to the already open version of home and not just pop up a new one?)

Help really appreciated!

In Nautilus go to Edit > Behaviour > Always open in browser windows

(I think that's the right path anyway...)

Sweet!


Edit - Preferences - Behaviour - Always Open in Browser Windows = unchecked if anyone else wanna do this. How about grouping lots of windows together :)?
