Hi, [mailing list: strangely, I get replies to zeljko's message, yet haven't seen zeljko's reply yet (and no, I don't have spam filters set up). I had to copy the quote text below from the Lazarus archives.]

[NOT] Lazarus v1.7 About dialog under LCL-GTK2 (on my JWM desktop environment), there is no minimize button. The about dialog only has a Maximize (????) and a Close button. Either way, I agree with point 2. If modal dialogs have a minimize button, the only sane behaviour would be to minimise the whole application, and then restore the whole application and all windows/dialogs when needed.
