I can't reproduce this. Do you have fbpanel-6.1-4? (The earlier releases from Ports do not include the multiwindow profile.) If you rm ~/.config/fbpanel/multiwindow, does it work after that? If not, if you 'cp -f /usr/share/fbpanel/multiwindow ~/.config/fbpanel/', does it work then? -- Yaakov -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
