Comment (by jscipione):
I experimented with changing "Expand New Applications" to "Expand All
Applications" and created a function in BarView.cpp that would do just
that. It works great, when you check the option it expands all your
applications and when you un-check it, it un-expands all your
applications. I call the function from ChangeState() so that when new
applications get launched they also get expanded. The problem I am having
is that on reboot the Deskbar tries to expand Tracker (which it can do
since you might have open Tracker windows on boot) and somewhere in the
ToggleExpandedState() function Deskbar crashes. I think a better name for
this would be "Auto-expand Applications" since you can selectively un-
expand apps using the up/down arrow. I'll submit a patch as soon as I
track down what is causing Deskbar to crash on boot.
