Bug Description
VERSION:
* LinuxMint 11, 64-bit, all updates applied
EQUIPMENT:
* Laptop (system76 serval pro) with an external monitor connected
* nVidia video card using nVidia accelerated graphics driver (proprietary driver, version current)
* running in TwinView mode with external monitor set as the main screen
* configured monitor configuration using the nVidia X Server Settings application
SUMMARY:
I added the Window List to the lower panel. It works, but it only shows applications running on the main monitor. If I drag an application from the main monitor to the laptop screen, the button for the app in the window list disappears, and if I drag the window back to the main monitor, the button for the app in the window list reappears.
Note that I verified this is *not* related to multiple workspaces, and configuring the window list to show all workspaces had no effect.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
* Run in a multiple monitor configuration
* Right click bottom panel on main screen, choose "add to panel"
* Click "window list," click "add," click "close." Window list will be in panel now.
* Open two applications or two windows in an application (e.g. two Firefox windows) such that they're both positioned in the main monitor. At this point you should see two buttons in the window list, one for each app/window.
* Drag one of the windows to the second monitor and release.
* At this point the button for the window you dragged to the second monitor will disappear from the window list.
This is a change from LinuxMint 10, which showed buttons in the window list for both monitors in this configuration.

Same here, Linux Mint 11 64 bit, all updates applied on a Dell Latitude E6500 with an Nvidia graphics card and their current proprietary driver. The window selector with the menu works, but with the buttons it doesn't, which is really kind of annoying.
