** Description changed:

- [Impact]
  Consider you have many windows of the same type open. One method of switching 
between them is clicking the launcher icon which reveals the application 
spread. Now you can choose between the windows. This is how it should be.
  However, the design idea was, if the windows are marked "Always on Top" there 
is no need for an application spread, as they are always on top. This is a bug 
and needs to be changed, because it does not consider minimized windows and 
therefore prevents switching to those windows.
  If you have windows of the same application open, some of them minimized and 
ALL non-minimized windows are marked as "Always on top", the application spread 
does not work anymore, clicking the launcher does nothing.  Whether the 
minimized windows are marked always on top or not does not matter.
- 
- [Test case]
  So the simplest way to reproduce  this bug would be:
  1.) Open two windows of the same application.
  2.) Minimize one and mark the other (non-minimized) as "Always on top".
  3.) Try to switch to the minimized window using application spread
- 4.) Spread should work, although the always-on-top window should stay 
afterwards
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ 1. Open two windows of the same applications.
+ 2. Minimize one and mark the other (non-minimized) as "Always on top".
+ 3. Try to switch to the minimized window using application spread.
+ 4. Make sure that the minimized window is focused.

+ [Potential regression]
+ None
