    I have the same problem with a Fedora machine at school. It may be confined to browser-based downloads. If I use ftp or wget directly, I can put the download in background and log off and the job...

    [ubuntu] Re: Firefox Windows Disappear in 11.10

    Yes, it's in the launcher. In fact, it appears to be working now. I recently switched from Chrome back to Firefox. Maybe I just needed to reboot to get the launcher to detect windows correctly.

  6. [ubuntu] Re: Grub menu keep cycling without booting Ubuntu/Gnome
