I run a program called GradeQuick under wine in Ubuntu 8.04. It works well but occasionally I mess up and minimize the window, I immediately lose access to the window as it seems to be invisible to application switcher or indeed the task-bar. Any suggestions how to get it back when I do this? At the moment I have to open system monitor and kill the process, then restart the program and mentally flog myself for minimizing it in the first place.

Then I would be running it natively under XP, albeit in Virtualbox or something. I would rather run it under Wine, the application is run from a remote server and I don't want to unnecessarily complicate the situation. Also I really don't want to install a virtual desktop for the sake of one application.
Oh I didn't know about that, nice trick will try it immediately!
Same behavior in the virtual desktop, minimize window and it disappears completely.
No option to minimize the desktop, alt tabbing takes me to the desktop but not to the minimized app, oh well shall just have to remember not to minimize the window!

BTW, the appdb entry for this app is http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?appId=1206 and it'd be nice if you could add a test report. GradeQuick 9 (from 2004) has a demo at http://www.download.com/3000-2051_4-10305590.html but I haven't been able to download it.> It works well but [if] minimize the window, [it disappears]I've seen this before with other apps. The only bug report I could find just now that seems similar is http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6733 Perhaps this is the same bug? - Dan
