Many forms on taskbar
lazarus / 1-Linux

I just started using Lazarus on linux, and I notice that EVERY form
(including the one I'm designing) has an entry in the taskbar. This
makes the taskbar full. Is there anyway to solve this?

This is normal behaviour afaik.
Some Environments like KDE3 have an option to group similar tasks in
the taskbar.

Hi, I also noticed that in the beginning, I think its a Linux
specified way of displaying thing, nothing to do with Lazarus I think

Hi, Leledumbo.
I was expiriencing the same issue and solved it by using Compiz-Fusion
plugin 'Window Rules'.
I used it's 'Skip Taskbar' feature with following windowmatching
criteria:
class=Lazarus & (title=Object Inspector | title=Locals |
title=Messages | title=Code Explorer | title=Source Editor)

So, all windows from Lazarus that have mentioned titles are not shown
in taskbar.
Hope this helps.

QuoteSome Environments like KDE3 have an option to group similar tasks
in the taskbar.I use Kubuntu 8.10 which uses KDE 4. From quick
googling, I found that it's not possible in KDE 4.

there's no other way I'll try it. Thanks anyway.
