Gnome-panel: Want to NOT show running apps

Asked by Saul Lubkin

I'm running Ubuntu 9.04, with gnome (the default) and the fvwm window manager (not the default WM, evolution).

I'd like the gnome panel to NOT show every running application -- my window manager, fvwm, does this MUCH better, the way I have it configured.

I understand you still want your gnome panel there, right?

Right click on the "notification area" and select "remove from the panel" (not "remove panel"). Not sure of the exact name for the actions, since I'm getting messages in other language, but that's the idea.

Hope this helps you.

Unfortunately, not solved.

Yes.

>Right click on the "notification area"

I did.

>and select "remove from the panel"

Nothing like that comes up: Only minimize, maximize, move to workspace right, close, and a few similar things.

Is it "every running app." or every picked to be in the panel? The upper panel does not show you the running apps. That is done by, to say, System Monitor.
If you don't want to see an app. on the upper panel just right-click on it and choose "Remove from panel".
