So do I. Slackware 14.2. Don't ask. Probably no more than 50 at a
time, but perhaps a dozen that I NEVER want to close -- and sometimes
they disappear. Anomalies happen. Sometimes xscreensaver doesn't
start. Same with xdaliclock. Sometimes I can't see reCaptchas. I
can't leave TB folders in the 'unread' state; when I leave TB it goes
back to the not-unread state. I put it down to developers considering
only apple and windows and ignoring the way linux does things until
somebody hits them with a cluebat -- and even then they just do a
quick-and-dirty fix because Hey, it's only a few users...
