[linux-help] Re: enlightenment

[John <jmresler@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Linux supports what are called background and foreground processes. The
X-Window shell that you use goes into the background and is placed in a
sort of stasis, unless of course it is performing some activity such as
a find, etc. The way to get it back with KDE is to press alt + tab at
the same time and a window will appear with background processes
running. If you have several background windows, simply hold down the
alt key while continuing to press the tab key and you will cycle through
the processes. When the one you want appears, simply release the keys
and the process will re-appear on your desktop. BTW, this can be
disabled (in kde anyway) simply by setting your task bar to view
minimized as opposed to hidden ( at least I believe that is the text it
uses) and the window will no longer disappear but simply become an icon
on your taskbar as it would in the less efficient os Windows ver....
