Weird Problem - QjackCtl not showing up in xfce window switcher. [SOLVED]

Post by sirjohndfox »

UPDATE
It was a buried window manager tweak setting that fixed it.
Window Manager Tweaks> "skip windows that have "skip pager" or "skip taskbar set"

Not sure when or how it happened, but qjackctl no longer shows up in the window switching menu when I alt-tab.
Anybody got any ideas where to start looking for a culprit?
Here's all the relevant info I can think of.
Cheers.

Probably unrelated, but I notice that your qjackctl version (0.5.0) is from 2017.
An appimage with version 0.9.9 is available:

QjackCtl version 0.9.9-1 is available from Manjaro community repository

Current RT kernel is: 6.0.5-2-rt14-MANJARO and I do not see kernel 6.0.0-rt11-30-nspa in AUR. Is this a 3rd party kernel?
