Minimising windows and jedit not opening properly
I've just set up Ubuntu and started using it for the first time.
I was using it fine. When I minimized windows they appeared at the bottom of my screen, on the taskbar, much like a Windows computer. I was also successfully using jedit and doing some C++ programming.
Then, as far as I can tell, it randomly stopped showing what windows were minimized at the bottom of the screen. How did this happen and how do I rectify this?
That is not the most important thing, I can live with it. However, after minimizing a jedit window and losing it I find that I cannot even open a new jedit window at all (even after restarting my computer several times). I type jedit in the command prompt - I get the grey box with jedit written in it, but then no actual jedit window comes open so that I can edit code. Or, I click on the jedit icon itself and it does the same thing.
What the heck can I do?! I need to program and it's not working!

I seem to have found a way to get to minimized windows now. Looked up KDE online and messed about a bit.

Oh and now because I can see windows that are minimized, I can see jedit.
Thanks for your help. I just used task manager.
Problem sorted.
