I'm on Ubuntu 12.04. My launcher keeps on hiding when I'm on the desktop. But I want it to stay out. And when I'm using programs I want it to hide. Is there anyway to do this?
even though i am a newer, but i have some ideas that they can solove your problem,
click the right key of the Mouse(or touch board) , then click the option "change the Background of the desktop", choose the option card " Behavior" , there is the settings of the "hide or display the LAUNCHER",,
IF you have try this, and it doesn't work eiher, it may the system's fault, so, if you reinstall the Ubuntu 12.04 iso from a USB disk
(mine is also the 12.04, now i am try to update to the lastest Ubuntu 12.10)
