windows won't restore from "minimize to desktop"

[Uri Shabtay]

hi everyone,

very weird indeed. i am using ubuntu intrepid 8.10 and enjoying every moment. sometimes i experience this weird bug: when i use many windows, and minimize them (no matter whether through the keybord shortcut or the 'show desktop' button) they minimize (i use compiz) once with the effect, and then without. but this isn't the point.

the point is that i can't restore the windows! if i worked my work is lost, and i can close it, or end the process, but that doesn't help me with my lost work (thankfully i have history in firefox, or document restore in open office)..

update: this happens also with only one (firefox, for example) window open. and this bug won't leave until i'll end my session and restart..

also, when i click more than once on the show desktop button - the problematic window closes itself - just as i pressed the close button (when i start firefox again, it doesn't ask me to restore last session, because it thinks everything is normal..).

thanks for reading.. hope this will be solved.

Uri
