Status
------

This change has been discarded.


Review request for kdelibs, kwin, Plasma, Aaron J. Seigo, and Martin Gräßlin.


Repository: kdelibs


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.

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


Thanks,
