Bottom Taskbar(?) doesn't display the programs in use #1460

I've never once had this happen but a few things are worth checking. Note that I am not using Debian's packages for MATE or for libwnck, first of all as I have to be able to build them with whatever changes are being tested. All applications open on the same workspace should be visible by default. If even one app shows, you do have the window list in the panel. Click on the handle (usually three dots but theme controlled) to the left of the button for the first app (or only all) showing, and select "remove from panel" to take this instance of window list off the panel. Then right-click on the panel, in the same place if possible and select "add to panel" and a dialog will pop up. In that dialog select "Window List" to add it back to the panel. If this does not work, try running If even this doesn't work, the problem could be in the version of libwnck you have, as that's where the panel gets |
I'm assuming it's part of GTK or something like that? How would I find the version? Searching libwnck shows no results. |

Libwnck is a separate library and not part of GTK. I really cannot help anyone much with online searches as my own skills at web search are limited and I do not use Google, only the smaller privacy respecting search engines. Whatever software manager you have installed should return results for either "libwnck-3-0" , "libwnck",or "wnck" though, |

Okay I searched for wnck and I found the packages. I installed a
package libwnck-3-dev. I also re-installed the packages I found.
Adding that didn't fix the problem.
Looks like I'll have to re-install the OS to get that back. The expected behavior is to have open programs display in there, correct?
Thanks for your help so far.

Yes, all open programs should display. Before trashing your install, create another user, login as that user, and see if the panel works normally there. If it does, the problem is in your dconf database or config files. To fix that, logged in as your normal user, move all the hidden ( .something) directories into a backup directory,log out and back in to remake them, then reconfigure. Same problem with a new user means something went wrong with your install., |
If I have multiple applications open the bottom bar doesn't display the other open applications. It happened after a Debian update, I'm unsure when.
I'm currently on MATE 1.26.1
Please let me know any other information needed and how to get it.
Thanks in advance
