Seems to be a theme issue. Which theme are you using?
(In reply to Wolfgang Ulbrich from comment #1) > Seems to be a theme issue. Which theme are you using? I did not choose any theme that I know of. I juet chose the defaults. I only changed the desktop background to Silk. That's it! So, if it is a a theme issue, which theme should I use, (choose?) and how do I do so? Regards, JD
On the Right Panel (which is not the LAUNCH panel, the virtual workspaces are considerably narrower than the panel. This leads to am unexpected effect: The only way I can see the icon of the running application in the virtual desktop displayed in the right panel, is to make the width of the right panel 43 pixels. When I was using gnome 2, I only had to set the width of the panel to 33 pixels. Also, when I go the virtual desktop, it does n ot show the icons of the apps running in that desktop on the right panel, so if I iconify the app, it disappears for good, and I am unable to un-iconify it. If this behaviour is also caused by the theme, Please advise how I can fix it. Regards, JD

I can confirm that it happens here too. But with all other GTK2/3 MATE themes like TraditionalOK, TraditionalGreen, GreenLaguna, BlackMATE, TraditionalOkTest, this will never happens. Sorry, I can't fix Menta for this 'very special case of using the menu amd panels', because this will change the general appearance of the panel.

I am no expert with themes. How do I "play" with themes? Please elucidate. Regards, JD
Use 'mate-appearance-properties' in a terminal. In the open window there is a theme tab. Here you can change the theme.

I selected Quid theme, and that fixed the spaces between Applications Places System However, I still do not see the large icon on the right panel for currently running aps in a workspace that is in focus and active. Thus I still am unable to un-iconify an iconified app.
Fine that it works.
(In reply to Wolfgang Ulbrich from comment #9) > Fine that it works. Then I will have to open a new bug for the part: "However, I still do not see the large icon on the right panel for currently running aps in a workspace that is in focus and active.
