This is more an issue with how the GUI toolkit interacts with the desktop
manager. I think there are some existing PRs (or at least wishlist items)
for supplying additional data down to the figure object. The person who did
that feature was then going to set a windowing rule of some sort for his
window manager to handle mpl figures specially.

As far as I know, the feature never got added. Maybe someone else could
resurrect that work?
