Christ, that IS weird.  First time I've ever heard of that happening.

Given that most people seem to prefer it like that anyway, it might be
worth making it global, and then see if that cures the current problem as
well.

I've just tried your settings here, yet it worked exactly as expected.

That's funny, I just said in another message that no software is completely
bug-free, and you disagreed with me...

So where do all your other minimised apps go then?  To the Minimised Window
Viewer, or what?  I personally prefer them on the desktop for easy access.

Why not try it anyway and see if that solves your immediate problem?
