Description Duong Nguyen CLA 2003-08-13 10:12:30 EDT
Note: This is an XP only bug

If multiple windows are displayed for an application in Windows XP, they 
are "stacked" (grouped) in the taskbar.  When two XDE Java windows are stacked, 
they lose their program (Eclipse or WSSAD) icon.

To recreate:
- on Windos XP, right click on start menu
- select "Taskbar" tab
- select "Group similar taskbar buttons" (note this is the default on XP 
systems)
- click OK
- bring up several copies of Internet Explorer or some other app to force 
taskbar into "stacking" mode
- bring up multiple Eclipse or WSSAD windows (e.g. help window).

Result:
- the nice taskbar icon turns into a generic windows app icon and the user may 
not be able to find their program.
