[OpenIndiana-discuss] Window manager problems after upgrade to oi_151a9

[Predrag Zecevic [Unix Systems Administrator]]

Hi,

well, I guess I used to it (in my /hipster oi_151a181):
I have noticed if I left click on empty space in background, panels come 
back.

No guarantee that it will work on a9 though. Just an idea.

And since I use /hipster, I gave up of finding someone willing to fix 
things.

Regards.
