Minimizing options don't seem to work on qt-wayland?

[tpaniaki]

Overview

I'm using Qtile on wayland and would like to enjoy the option to start keepassxc minimized. However, all minimizing options don't work.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Qtile / wayland
2. Check in settings you'd like the app to be opened minimized.

Expected Behavior

The app starts minimized (background process).

Actual Behavior

The GUI is not minimized.

Do any qt apps minimize properly?

[tpaniaki]

I don't have a qt app offering to minimize itself at a certain point.

Ideally, an argument such as--background (keepassxc --background) would be useful for picky non-DE users.

I don't know much about qtile, but I installed it and replicated the behavior. However, I don't think this is on us and I suspect you either need to adjust the qtile config to enable minimized windows on startup or simply enable the tray icon which allows this to work right away. We won't be making any code adjustments here.
