Description Teodor 2013-06-08 18:12:49 UTC

When you minimize an application which has a detached panel, the panel will not minimize with the program

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.detach a panel from a program
2.move the panel to some area that you want
3.lock the panel
4.minimize the application
Actual Results:  
the application minimizes, but the panel doesn't

Expected Results:  
the panel should minimize with it's program

Please provide output of:
qdbus org.kde.kwin /KWin supportInformation

Comment 2 Thomas Lübking 2013-06-10 13:19:08 UTC

Also specify "panel" by providing the output of "xprop" on the panel window (cursor turns into cross, click the window, the required information is written to stdout)

Did you enable "Hide utility windows for inactive applications" in KWin Settings > Window Behavior > Advanced tab?

No

Comment 5 Thomas Lübking 2013-06-28 19:32:50 UTC

There's a bug hitting toolbars from eg. kwrite etc. when loosing focus.

However, w/o that setting (the feature is borrowed behavior from NeXT) enabled, nothing will change and it has not been different. 

The "problem" here is (I assume, since you didn't bother to answer to comment #2...) that the toolbars of KMainWindow don't add _NET_WM_ACTION_MINIMIZE to _NET_WM_ALLOWED_ACTIONS (and sometimes seem to loose _NET_WM_ALLOWED_ACTIONS altogether, eg. with a second kwrite instance - that's however unrelated), IOW: the window is simply not minimizable (and unfortunately we've no rule in place to override this)

So, if you /were/ referring to "toolbars" of KMainWindow, the bug is either there or (depending on the reason for this behavior) no bug at all.
If we cannot get clarification on this, i'll just close the bug "NEEDS INFO" on Monday.

Comment 6 Thomas Lübking 2013-06-28 19:49:03 UTC

addendum:
Apparently we happily ignore that propert =(

However, special windows (including those assumed toolbars) are shortcut denied minimizability in Client::isMinimizable(), what should maybe fxied by "&& !isTransient()" to not conflict with the transient check below.

grant minimizability to transient special clients

This will not provide a 100% fix, since at least KMainWindow
toolbars at some point start to behave like override_redirects
