The hint you want to

especially also for GNOME's Metacity as KWin follows Metacity's
interpretation of Motif hints: "To quote from Metacity 'We support those

Hmm, can you elaborate a bit on this? As mentioned, I tried Gnome (on
Debian 6), and Metacity (v2.30.1) doesn't show a minimize button.
Also, it doesn't allow for minimizing through the title bar system
menu (the "Minimize" menu item is grayed out.)

Please trust me or Martin or google for thoughts on MWM hints - whatever
is the solution of your issue (i don't say there's none) it is NOT the
MWM hints.
Period ;-)

There's no issue, really. I just noticed that under KDE, the dialogs of my application can be minimized and therefore vanish. They can't be brought back in any intuitive way. I don't have a big problem with it personally, so no issue here. I can just refrain from minimizing, since there's no reason to do that to begin with. Why would I even want to minimize the "About" window? It just seemed strange that I *can*. I just brought this up here since it seems like a bug, especially since only KDE showed this behavior. If KDE says this is how it should be, then that's how it shall be.
