Group Windows on a Taskbar in Gnome (on Debian GNU/Linux) in Vista like fashion

Wednesday, 9th September 2009

I wanted to have my gnome windows be handled in a Vista / XP like fashion in other words I wanted my Gnometo Group Windows (that means if many Windows originating from the same source program then let them be grouped in one Window so any time you press that Window a menu pops up letting you choose between the desired Window). This window management aproach has one main advantage it saves space on your desktop and least but not last makes it much more ordered.
Here are the steps you need to follow to achieve Gnome Group Windowing.

1. Right click on the dotted section (that’s just to the left of your windows list section) you should find that between “Show Desktop” button and the rest of the windows buttons.2. Select “Preferences” there and then choose according to your preferences either: “Group windows when space is limited” or “Always group windows”.

The same is also explained on on Lifehacker therefore credits go to the above article.
