What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. open any program
2. minimize the program window

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The window should be minimized, but still wisible on the tint2 taskbar.
Instead, the window disappears from the taskbar. Restoring the window does
not restore the window to the taskbar.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.6.0-1 on Debian 5.0

Please provide any additional information below.
I'm using WindowMaker as my window manager. This probably has something to
do with this weird behaviour.

if you can try SVN code it's better because many bugs are fixed.
otherqies, will try WindowMaker.

Hi,

tried windowmaker under Ubuntu 8.10 and can't reproduce your problem ??
openning an application show it in the taskbar.
left clic on the task (in the taskbar) and the application 
minimize/maximize as expected.

???

Ok, I debugged this myself. Fixed by modifying event_property_notify slightly.. 
If
I'll just figure out how to submit a patch

Ok, there is probably a more elegant way to submit patches, but here goes 
anyway. A
patch is in an attachment...

Hi,

humm don't understand the patch. 
you speak about event_property_notify and the patch change _NET_WM_DESKTOP ?

can you explain the problem ...
if tint2 receive unexpected _NET_WM_DESKTOP, it's better to found the source of 
the
problem (window manager or other application).

I can't applied the patch because it add another bug.
in multi_desktop, tint2 can switch task between desktop (even if it's 
iconified).

event_property_notify is the name of the function, _NET_WM_DESKTOP is the name 
of the
event. For me the possibility to minimize applications without them disappering 
from
taskbar is more important than the possibility to move iconified applications to
other desktops. And even with the patch applied, the moved applications switch 
to the
new desktop when they are restored, so the harm is really not big.

Well, it's up to you to decide if you want to apply the patch or not; I'm quite 
happy
running the patched version and if someone else has the same problem, (s)he 
might
find the patch here.

we have not the same point of view :)

i'll not applied your patch because it doesn't solve the problem, you just mask 
it.
_NET_WM_DESKTOP event are send by the window manager or the pager when a task
move from one desktop to another.

here, tint2 receive _NET_WM_DESKTOP when you minimize the task.
the bug come from the software who send _NET_WM_DESKTOP ??

are you using a pager with WindowMaker ? and if yes, witch one ?

Ok, Now I figured out the "real" reason for the weird behaviour. I had 
configured my
WindowMaker so that miniwindows (=minimized windows) were present on all 
desktops.
I'm not entirely sure why, but for some reason this caused tint to believe the 
window
was hidden. This might have something to do with the fact that 
window_get_desktop
returned -1.

Anyway, I really don't need minimized windows to be present on all desktop, so 
I just
changed the setting. Now the unpatched tint2 works fine.

Oh, and in case you're still interested, I'm not using any pager. Just plain
WindowMaker (and tint2 :)

it look like windowmaker send unecessary 'desktop changed' each time focus 
changed.
