I am on Ubuntu 10.2 (Amazon Cloud Box). When I minimize a window, it disappears and starts running in the background. When I click the mouse's middle button it comes back to the foreground. Is there a way I can have start something like just panel (may be xPanel) which will show me all the opened windows and I just have to click on it to bring the application to fore ground?
Thanks in advance

Finally I got it done as follows
Remember this is a cloud box and I am looking for a programmatic way of starting just the panel. I have decided on the xfce panel as it is light weight and very easy to customize.

sudo apt-get install xfce4-panel

make sure you have "task-list" in the panel.

Configuring xfce panel is very simple. To set the default settings for every user one just needs to edit /xdg/xfce4/panel/panel.xml. Its a simple self explanatory xml file.
