What gives? Tom LaStrange said it best in his reply to me:

What Desktop Environment Are You Running?

Simple one, but I don't know how to fine out. The top right of the windows look like this. If I know which desktop environment this was, I could google for some keyboard+mouse shortcuts. This particular one doesn't seem to have any - really sucks.



Answer :

You are using twm http://xwinman.org/vtwm.php It is configurable but it is an ancient unmaintained version!

You really need to be using KDE especially KDE 4.1. Download and install Kubuntu 8.10 - it comes with KDE pre-configured. It's very very nice (like Apple's OS X). :-)
