Tasklist

Introduction

The tasklist is a panel applet that shows a list of currently open applications. You can use it to see what windows are open, bring one to the front, modify a few window properties, and move a window to another desktop.

The tasklist will only work if your window manager supports the Extended Window Manager Hints standard, defined at http://freedesktop.org. Different window managers have different levels of support for this, so if it doesn't work, it's probably a problem with the window manager rather than with the tasklist.

Download

The Tasklist applet requires GNOME's libwnck library, version 2.2.0 or later.

Comments and Commentary

Changing the Grouping option doesn't do anything!

In previous versions, changing this option only takes effect when the application is restarted. This has been fixed.
