I think that one of the problems that I have with dia is the missing
concept of an application. Call me a windows user, but I dont like
fighting with all these windows. I just want them to go away and get
out of my way when i minimize the window!!!
AIUI, an X client tells the WM what windows belong in a "Window Group".
It's up to the WM what it does with that information. A good WM would
iconify them as a set.
I just tested it in Sawfish.
I went to the GNOME Control Panel, chose Window Manager's "Minimising and
Maximising" behaviour, chose "When minimising window, also minimise:
GROUP". Then I minimised Dia and all Dia windows minimised at the same
time.
So at least Sawfish implements this behaviour.
(Sawfish is the default GNOME WM, btw)
