Okay, so I installed Ubuntu 11.10.
The thing is, when I click the home folder icon in the launcher (Win + 1), the home folder opens and a new icon appears in the launcher.
I want the windows to be highlighted in the first icon only if you catch my drift (4th icon).
I thought if I could remove the first icon and then right-click on the other icon and keep it in the launcher, it may work - but then folders open and the icon remains blank without any indication that a window is open (looks same as first icon).
Also, the icons numbered from top to bottom exclude the dash icon.
