looked into it: 1. opera works like a charm for me. that's because it withdraws its window - not iconifies. 2. clementine indeed works just fine 3. havent tried empathy 4. tried handbrake-gtk... and this does do what you say.. but there is a catch... it's broken because we can't unmap windows (hide them) when they are iconified. why? compositing. we have to keep windows mapped for the ability to see miniature live previews of the window. if we don't we no longer have a working/updating pixmap. the problem here is handbrake tries to do the old-fashioned method of getting out of an iconified state... it... tries to map its window. but... it's already mapped and thus nothing happens. there is an alternative - the netwm activate request. so we have a problem. in order to do compositing properly/well into the future we CANT unmap windows that are in fact iconified. they must stay mapped so we can access their content - eg for the comp-scale module (it does this) or if we later make ibox show window "previews" etc. (we will in e18 and so on when compositing goes into core). we really can't sanely avoid doing this. but this causes this problem. it's pretty much unavoidable beyond applications changing/adapting and trying different mechanisms *IF* the wm supports things like the netwm activate protocol (client can check and find out). we COULD make rulesets where u can "ban" e from keeping some windows mapped when iconified and thus lose the pixmaps in this state, but frankly we dont have such a feature and there isn't a plan to add it. so... i'm going to have to put this into the "wontfix" bucket. :( > There are several applications which I use that fail to maximize once I > minimize to systray, the most notable are Empathy & Handbrake.
