Make sure you have the window list applet running.  Just right click
on the bottom panel, click on "Add to Panel", scroll down to "Window
List", click on it and click "Add".

Don't forget to save your session so it starts up next time.  Make sure
you have "Automatically save changes to session" selected in the

    System->Preferences->More Preferences->Sessions->Session Options

tab
