Title: Kismet Goes Background
Post by: pumo on November 28, 2004, 10:26:14 am
Hi,
I just installed kismet and modified icon like this page:
http://www.timekiller.org/howtos/kismet-5600.html (http://www.timekiller.org/howtos/kismet-5600.html)

and it works well, But when launching any other program kismet goes to background and I can't get it to front.
It stays on, because it beeps when it finds wlan's, and in it appears in  process  amanger.

and it doesn't show in  middle at taskbar !

So is there any "alt tab" like button ??

Frequently, running an application a second time will bring the already running copy to the front -- not sure if it works for Kismet...

I always use the Kismet Qt/e GUI for launching Kismet, which does provide a Taskbar icon:

If you run into the problem of not having enough room on the task bar to see all the icons, I highly recommend the TaskList Applet, which gives a popup menu on the Taskbar for all running application icons -- it is the closest thing we have to an alt-tab:
