I am using Ubuntu 12.04, how do I see the applications open on different workspaces. The issue that I am having is that I have opened 3 instances gnome-terminal and have minimized them; the unity launcher isn't showing any of the terminal application I guess they might be on another workspace. To my surprise, i am noticing that the terminal are not showing up on unity launcher. This is bugging me. Any logs that I could paste here, that would help in tshooting. Please help. Thanks |

I had the same problem. The terminal did not show up in the Laucher or when using Alt+Tab. This was after migrating my Ubuntu 12.04 installation to a new laptop. Solution: Uninstall gnome-terminal using Ubuntu software center and re-install it right afterwards. |

You can also press Ctrl+Alt+Arrow Key to quickly switch workspaces in the direction of the arrow. |

Seems to be the same problem as https://askubuntu.com/questions/149442/why-do-some-programs-not-remain-on-the-dashboard. I don't believe this is to do with workspaces - I see programs appearing in the launcher whatever workspace they are in and never see terminal at all. Also I cannot switch to terminal with alt+tab - this means that if another window is in front of terminal then the only way to get back is to move the other window. Minimising a terminal rendered it completely inaccessible. From the system monitor I was able to confirm that terminal was still running and kill it, but not switch back to it. (Then I clicked the system monitor's title bar and the click went straight through to the program behind it - but that's a separate issue.) This appears to be a bug in Unity (and possibly also gnome-terminal). The most obvious solution for me is to switch back to gnome classic. |

On your launcher, on the left side of the screen, at the bottom should be this button:
Whenever you click it, it should sprawl out all of your workspaces, and you can see what windows are open. Alternatively, you can use Super+S to open up all of your workspaces as well. |

If they are in a different workspace, hold Super/Windows button and S . This will show you all thw workspaces. Click on whichever workspace you would like to view. |
