Windows must actually specify that they wish to be minimized by setting the _NET_WM_ALLOWED_ACTIONS hint. If the actions in _NET_WM_ALLOWED_ACTIONS do not contain _NET_WM_ACTION_MINIMIZE then the window is not allowed to be minimized (windows that do not set this hint are allowed to be minimized by default). see: http://standards.freedesktop.org/wm-spec/1.3/ar01s05.html#id2523223 That being said, for dialog windows with their WM_TRANSIENT_FOR hint being set to another toplevel window we explicitly disable minimization, since the dialog window is meant to be minimized at the same time as its parent. > Thanks. > > -- > You received this bug notification because you are a bug assignee. > https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/830637 > > Title: > Not all windows can be minimised directly > > Status in Ayatana Design: > New > Status in “compiz” package in Ubuntu: > In Progress > > Bug description: > All windows should be minimisible.
