Re: putting icons not in tool bar

[Garrett Mickelson <garrett penguincomputing com>]

Hello Billy,
The way to keep them from disappearing from the panel (what I think you
are referring to as the tool bar) is to edit the taskbar properties. The
taskbar applet is the one that displays the icons, much like in windows.
If you have the taskbar applet on your panel then right click on the
very left most part of the applet display and select "Properties". Then
be sure to check "Show iconified (minimized) applications" and "Show
iconifed (minimized) applications on all desktops". This will keep them
from disappearing.
