Yes, current Onboard hides and shows the keyboard window wherever
possible, instead of minimizing/restoring it. IIRC it's been like this
since we switched to GTK-3 in 2012 and more out of necessity than by
design. Gnome-3/GTK-3 were trying to get rid of minimizing back then and
the required APIs weren't there or have been unreliable. Also the
default minimize/restore animations in compiz added delays and didn't
seem like a good fit for Onboard's auto-show overall.
Currently there's one loophole left for real minimizing:
- Onboard has to think it runs under metacity, so run it from command line as
onboard -q metacity
- uncheck Preferences->Window->Force to top
- uncheck Preferences->General->Show status icon
- uncheck Preferences->General->Show floating icon
That should get you minimizing in Compiz too, but YMMV. With auto-show
enabled there's a chance the window disappears for good at some point,
i.e. deiconify() does nothing.
Marking 'won't fix' for now as I don't believe we'll be able to change
this behavior.
