I'd personally not recommend doing that just because you don't want to
repaint. Releasing the resources decreases the memory footprint of the
application when minimized and allows the system to stay more
responsive.
If a lot of apps start to not release the GL context and scene graph GL
bits then that will negatively impact the whole system.
Just my 0.02
