We can. You might find the normal athena support channel
of "olc ask" to be easier in general, but sending us email is fine.

Ocassionally the GNOME tasklist program, which is responsible for that
list of windows, dies and goes away. Developers are working on trying to
reproduce and understand the problem. But you can bring it back by
right-clicking in the gnome panel (the bar at the bottom of the screen)
and selecting Add To Panel -> Applet -> Utility -> Tasklist.

I'm not sure what to say about that one. Does it happen on mulitple types
of machines?
