umm...  there is no enlightenment 0.17 yet. If you are running enligtemment
then it would be 0.15 or 0.16.x. (do double check the version on that) It
could be that you don't have the tasklist/pager applet running in the panel
to ``catch'' the minimzation. If you are running E it sounds like you'r
running version 0.15 by the way you describe what it does when it
iconifies...
