Desktop behavior SOLVED!
« on: April 04, 2012, 01:16:43 AM »
The most recent version of pclos exhibits what I'm sure is a deliberate behavior, but one that I would just as soon forgo:  with a couple of programs opened, but "sleeping" in the
systray, or panel, if I move the cursor up towards the far left side of the screen and maybe near the top, the systray disappears, and the other programs stored in it come to life
on the desktop, and I guess you can choose a different one than the one you're actually working in.  Is there a way to make this "feature" stop?

Thanx--doug

Thank you, Bald Brick.  They sure hid that one nicely--I had already been half-way to that point, but never could have guessed how to go the rest of the way.
