The window manager not only "closes" your window, but destroys the
associated widget. You need to intercept the "delete_event" that is issued
in this case, and hide the widget instead (or be prepared to recreate it as 
needed).

Wildly guessing here - maybe it reports different position or geometry values 
in this state. You could also try to access the underlying X data structures
directly (which would probably reduce portability of your software).
