I am not sure whether this is an issue with GNome moreso than with Fedora.

 

Every time I minimize a window on my desktop, it becomes hidden away from view -- shrinking down into the bottom right corner. I can not reach them with my mouse cursor. How can I correct this problem?

 

This happened immediately after I removed my bottom panel. Previously, the minimized windows would be accessible in my bottom panel.

if you press Alt and Tab together do you still see the window

Yes, pressing Alt+Tab reveals the minimized windows for me. That is the solution.

 

Thanks!
