+<question>
+<para>When I "iconify" a window, it disappears. Where does it
+go?</para>
+</question>
+<answer>
+<para>With many &X-Window; &GUI;s, the minimize button (a little dot) will
+erase the window that the program is running in and create, instead,
+an icon on the desktop. &tde; does not do this. Instead, when a
+window is iconified it is simply hidden (but the program is still
+running).</para>
+<para>There are a few ways to access <quote>disappeared</quote> windows:</para>
+<itemizedlist>
+<listitem>
+<para>If you are running the taskbar part of &kicker;,
+you can choose to have a list of tasks displayed on your desktop.
+Iconified tasks will have their names displayed in gray.</para>
+</listitem>
+<listitem>
+<para>If you click the &MMB; on the root window (&ie;,
+the background of the desktop), &twin; will give you a list
+of all available tasks.</para>

+<question>
+<para>How can I start an application with special window options, like
+maximized/minimized/to stay on top?</para>
+</question>
+<answer>
+<para>Use the <command>kstart</command> command. As an example, to
+open &kcalc; with the <quote>Stay on Top</quote> option, use:
+<screen><prompt>%</prompt> <userinput><command>kstart</command> <option>--ontop</option> <option>kcalc</option></userinput></screen>
+</para>
+<para>For maximized windows, use the <option>--maximize</option>
+option, for minimized windows, use <option>--iconify</option>. You can
+see a full list of <command>kstart</command> options with
+<userinput><command>kstart</command>
+<option>--help-all</option></userinput>.</para>
+
+<warning><para>If you're using <command>kstart</command> to start
