I think I found the problem (at least I think so) apparently (I'm guessing
that I hit <ctrl> q by accident), but the system / firefox was so busy that it
took something like 15 minutes to shut down.
But, just to answer the question you asked: Well, yes, I think so (I run kde
4.8.4 -- the "current" version in Wheezy, but if I minimize a window the icon
(or whatever the right word is) still remains on my tool bar so I can re-
establish the window by clicking on it.
Anyway, I guess it is all good now -- thanks for your help! (I have restarted
firefox, and recovered the windows / tabs except for those in the private
window -- disappointing.
