Problems With Task Switching Some Apps?
« on: January 20, 2005, 10:56:28 am »
First off, huge thanks to the OZ team!  I love my zaurus even more since I installed 3.5.2 (upgrd from Cacko/Sharp).  It's pretty, it runs fast, and it does almost everything I want (sound recording needs help badly for my 5500).

Anyway, what I wanted to ask about was task switching between applications.  Some of my apps (MinIDE - java editor, Nethack, opie-sh help etc) refuse to come to the foreground when you click their icon in the taskbar.  After a couple of seconds, a window comes up saying that the application is not responding, do you want to terminate it?  If, however,  you close the apps that you have opened afterwards, the original app is still there and working fine.  I can't seem to narrow it down to any specific problem with the apps.  Nethack is using compat libs, but so is Opera, and it switches just fine.  MinIDE is a java app, so is EIDE which does the same thing.  I have no idea about Opie-sh help.

Any idea what is wrong, or is this just "something to live with".  If it's wrong, any idea on how I can fix it?  It's kind of a pain to have some apps that you can't get back to without closing everything you've opened since...
