Is there some kind of script similar to TWM's iconify for any WM or DE

I know that's a rather specific question, but I really want to find something similar.
Today I was playing around with TWM and modifying it to work as I wanted it, but on the end I decided, that I still prefer KDE over it.
But one option that really stuck with me was iconify.
I guess in more modern WM's it was replaced by minimize, but I kind of like the idea of having "icons" of minimized windows floating around my desktop.
So anyway, is anyone aware of some kind of script that would have a similar option?
And if there isn't any how hard would it to make it "myself" (NB.: I'm not really a programmer, so if anyone else thinks this is a good idea, we could work together or something).
Thanks in advance.

Many panels can do this. Specifically, I think tint2 would be the easiest to configure for something like the Win3.1 style of iconifying. Just set the tint2rc to only show iconified items, have all transparent backgrounds, and to show only icons and no text.
EDIT: I guess this depends on whether you'd want to be able to drag the icons around. Tint2 would not allow this. They'd just show when the window was iconified, and could be clicked on to show the window again. As another option, Rox desktop manager does something like this if I'm remembering right (it's been a while).

Syncmyride. That's what's having the problem. If it were handing the data properly, it wouldn't be a problem. You should not have to remove data from your contacts in order for an app that is accessing the contact data to work correctly. This is a bug in syncmyride. It has nothing to do with iCloud or anything else that Apple controls.

Is there some kind of noisereduction on Garageband?

Does there exist a noise reduction effect on GarageBand? If I start a song acapella, there is allways this annoying "swishing" sound in the background. Any way of removing it?

I noticed in another thread that you just got your iBook, so I'm guessing you're using the built-in mic to record? The mic in the iBook is picking up all the noises the computer makes, the hard drive spinning, the fans if they turn on, etc).
If this is just for fun, but you want a better recording, you might considering getting an iMic (about $30) and a 'Tape Recorder' type mic (between $5-$10). This way your mic will be away from the noises your computer makes, and I'm betting those are the sounds you're hearing on your recording.
Better interfaces and better mics will help you create better recordings, but for just messing around, the above should work well.

Is there some kind of text output area in forms ??

OK - I am not talking about a text item field.
I have a form containing project and allocated staff information via a project_staff table. I need to include a section on the form that summarises how many staff of a particular type are involved in that project.
I want it to look like this:
3 x programmer
2 x Manager
1 x Datacomms expert
1 x analyst
etc etc.
Forum members kindly showed me the SQL I need to get this output but I am having trouble outputting the results in Forms (in SQL+ its fine).
I want an overall summary not individual text item fields which prevent the COUNT function from working how I need it to. Is there such an item in Forms, an area that I can output results of an SQL query to ??
Thanks
Kevin.

A multi record form block ?? Is that a "tabular" type form ?? I tried that but I couldn't get it to work.
Here is the SQL :
SELECT a.staff_type, b.proj_number,COUNT(a.staff_id)
FROM staff a, project_staff b
WHERE a.staff_id = b.staff_id
GROUP BY a.staff_type, b.proj_number.
This works perfectly in SQL+. I amended it because I did not want the project number being displayed:
SELECT a.staff_type, COUNT(a.staff_id)
FROM staff a, project_staff b
WHERE a.staff_id = b.staff_id
GROUP BY a.staff_type
This is perfect in SQL+. I have 2 "5 row tabular" text items, one called "qty" the other called "description". The form is a Master Detail where the Master provides the Project number, the Detail I need to display the results of this SQL code.
I tried amending the code using references to block and text item fields but at best I was able to get it to work but the count for each row returned was always 1 (returned to the "qty" text item).
I know the code the code below is wrong for the Post Query trigger:
begin
select COUNT(staff_id)
into :proj_staff.qty
from proj_staff
where staff.id = *** I forgot what I put in here now !!****
and proj_number = :project.proj_num
end;
I had a 2nd piece of code in the Post Query trigger to populate the "description" text item which worked:
begin
select staff_type
into :proj_staff.description
from staff
where staff.id = :proj_staff.staff_id
end;
Any idea how I can make the COUNT function work ???
Cheers.
PS - I take it I can't use the natural join code cos it kept coming up with errors when I tried to compile it ?!!!

Is there some kind of problem with Apples servers?

My Apple TV suddenly said theres an update available so i went ahead and it gave me this-
Although it went quick but when it applied the update it failed and now im stuck on the Apple logo

I had no problem on my system. Are you on wifi? Maybe there was some interference at play. In any case, since it failed you will have to grab a micro usb cable and restore through iTunes

Optical drive problem? Is there some kind of Diagnostic?

When I insert a CD or DVD my MB spits it out, tried to insert slowly, fast, vertical , horizontal etc....
Is there any kind of diagnostic for the optical drive I could run and find out?
thanks

One easy way to tell if this is a hardware or software issue would be to use the startup manager, which does not use the software on the hard drive nor the system on the install disk. Do the following:
1) Restart the computer, using the Apple menu.
2) Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the "Option" key on your keyboard.
3) After the computer starts up you should see an icon for your hard drive. At that point, insert the install DVD.
4) If the same issue occurs (it spits out the DVD) there is a problem with the computer's optical disk drive. You will need to have it repaired. Contact Apple at 1-800-275-2273 for repair.

How do I submit a bug to apple? Is there some kind of link?

I just spent the last six months encoding and embedding album art to all my music/movie files using a app purchased from the app store. All album art showed up in pre-iTunes 11 and all played just fine. After upgrading to iTunes 11, every music/movie file that starts with the letter A and B have missing album art. The rest of my files are ok. When I navigate to finder/iTunes/movie album art embedded file shows up ok with album art. I need to submit a bug report to Apple. How would I go about this?

Is there some kind of program that prevents your computer from playing soun

Sometimes YouTube videos can be too loud, or even too small, so I want to have the volume automatically adjusted to certain decibels, so that I don't have to constantly adjust the volume levels and listen to all things at the same level.

Why not adjust YouTube's sound level? Highlight the sound bell - !https://img.skitch.com/20110320-q7krgsq4t5qnp7axmmega6tc2b.jpg! From there you can adjust the sound by moving the sound lever -
You can check YouTube's tech support to see if you can make their sound lever default per your settings - http://www.google.com/support/youtube/bin/static.py?p=watch&page=start.cs&hl=en_ US
