Comment #3 on issue 19127 by enrico.persiani: Middle-click minimizes window.
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=19127

I use the same configuration described in the bug report (only a later  
build since I
have subscribed to the ubuntu PPA repository). I used to suffer of the same  
problem
and after studying the matter a little bit I discovered the following:

1. The default Window Manager in Jaunty is Metacity, which by default adds  
a binding
for middle-click on window bar that lowers the target window (the effect is  
of
disappearing only if you have other maximized windows behind chromium)

2. To check this specific behavior of Metacity use gconf-editor and go to  
the key
apps->metacity->general->action_middle_click_titlebar and check it's value  
is set to
'lower' (as a workaround change 'lower' to 'menu' and logout/login or  
simply sighup
metacity)

3. I think the bug lays in the way chromium manages it's title bar (that  
obviously
customizes). It seems that chromium advertises back to metacity that the  
entire
window area is a title bar.

As a side note, even middle click for opening new tabs suffers the same  
wrong
behavior.
