(Updated Jan. 10, 2013, 6:50 a.m.)
Review request for kdelibs, kwin, Plasma, Aaron J. Seigo, and Martin Gräßlin.
Changes
-------
added plasma to CC group - I think they should be in to comment on it.
Description
-------
When setting "Keep window thumbnails" to "Always (Breaks minimization)", kwin will \
keep WM_STATE to be NORMAL when a client is minimized while including \
_NET_WM_STATE_HIDDEN in its _NET_WM_STATE, as confirmed by ICCCM[1] and Extended \
Window Manager Hints[2]. However, apart from the expected result (breaks \
minimization: the client will continue to refresh its content) the minimized window \
is not shown as minimized in icontasks and pager.
These two plasma addons (and probably other addons as well) uses \
KWindowInfo::isMinimized to determine whether the window is minimized. However, this \
function threat all window that are not Iconic (WM_STATE != ICONIC) as not minimized, \
in contradiction to the "Extended window manager hints" which says, "Pagers and \
similar applications should use _NET_WM_STATE_HIDDEN instead of WM_STATE to decide \
whether to display a window in miniature representations of the windows on a \
desktop."
This patch correct this behavior and therefore correct the behavior of both pager and \
icontasks in this situation.

Testing
-------
Compiled, pager and icontasks shows minimized windows correctly.
Also tested on openbox (+plasma's pager) by "Xuetian Weng".
Thanks,
