I have just upgraded from Mageia 1 to 2. With Mageia 1 I could set up the task manager to work the way I want (one icon per task, with text, unsorted: i.e. in the order that the tasks were started) by doing:
Right-click on taskbar: Task Manager Settings:
Grouping: Manually, Sorting: Do Not Sort
I cannot find the same options for Mageia 2, which gives me only one icon (with no text) for all my terminal windows, for example!
I seem to have a "icon only task manager": how do I get the "proper" one?
Edit: OK, I posted too soon: I have solved the problem. This might help someone else with the same issue.
The clue is the "icon only task manager": I needed to go to "Panel Settings", "Add widgets" and add the old "Task Manager", then delete the "Icon only task manager". Then I can set up the grouping and sorting the way I need it.
