I think I've isolated the problem. If you start Lazarus and change Desktop it will probably minimize. If you restore all and change desktop it will probably minimize again. This we all know so far... But if after restoring you move the main Lazarus window (top window) it will never minimize again. I've tested this under 0.9.24 and svn 15397.
Apparently Lazarus is starting in an undefined geometry for KDE and changing desktop makes KDE update all window geometries which forces the minimize. Moving the top window somehow "tells" KDE its window geometry, I think. If you minimize Lazarus by clicking the minimize button the problem returns again, so restoring Lazarus window doesn't update its geometry state to KDE. I hope this helps for a possible solution.
