Our Gtk-based Win32 application have a "minimize" behaviour that's
confusing to many users wrt handling of transient windows and also
"torn-off" menus.
If I open a transient window like a file chooser dialog, then hit the
minimize button in the main application window, the main window is
minimized, but the file chooser or whatever stays open. If I then press
the application's button in the dock (or whatever the Windoze crowd call
it - you know, that line at the bottom of the screen), the main window
is not restored, but instead, the transient is activated and moved to
the top of the stack. In order to restore the window, I have to
right-click on the button, then select "restore". More or less exactly
the same behaviour is seen for windows that are created by tearing off a
tear-off menu.
Is this what I should expect? Is there a way to change the behaviour? Is
it a bug? And all those other questions...
I'm using gtk+ 2.10.7 - the binary version from
