Sorry to bump an old thead, but I'm having a similar problem.
Running Linux Mint 17.2 Cinnamon 64 bit Lazurus 1.4.4

As JuhaManninen told me in another thread (My hello thread), I've got
the "Show single button in taskbar" checked, but this is what my
taskbar look like: (Attached).
I've tried restarting Lazurus via the restart menu item, exiting then
restarting it the normal way to no avail.
If I minimize it, all the other Lazurus windows minimize as well, but
clicking on the Lazurus icon on the taskbar only brings up the main
UI, I have to click on each individual window (Message, Object
Inspector, etc.) in the taskbar to bring them back up.

Thanks

Apparently it is not a similar problem. For Groffy "it's working under
Linux Mint -KDE".
Windows always shows one button, thus the option is disabled (IIRC).
How did it behave in your Windows?

It must be related to Cinnamon. The support may be improved in Lazarus
trunk (development version) but I am not sure. Just guessing.
I am currently running XFCE and it works well.

You can also build the IDE with QT bindings. Just copy the lib to
/usr/local/lib and select QT widgetset.

I meant similar to "its not working", although the same issue is
occurring under different conditions.

I've never tried Lazurus under Windows.
I'll look into the QT bindings as well as your other suggestions.

Thanks

Is there any fixes about this issue? It is painful to have 5-6-7-more
buttons at the taskbar. My investigations of sources was finished at
'Application.TaskBarBehavior := tbSingleButton' line. May be I will
continue it but I am not sure. In any case many thanks for FPC/Lazarus
- that's great!

Somebody could open a bug report about it, but first make sure it is
related to Cinnamon and also test with both GTK2 and QT.

Take a look at the hint of "Show single button in TaskBar" checkbox
(see attached picture). It says "... Some Linux Windows Managers like
Cinnamon do not support this...".

So, it is documented, at least in the hint, that it does not work in
Cinnamon.
