tsLibGUI/tsWxTaskBar ought to have popup help and means to unhide frame/dialog. #33

Enhancement to add popup menu to taskbar button with appropriate option choices. Activate/cancel frame/dialog iconize, resize/restore frame/dialog size, close frame/dialog in manner similar to Microsoft Windows, Linux or Unix. The enhancement would provide a flexible means of handling or recovering from an iconization which had hidden (rather than re-sized) the frame or dialog and associated child GUI objects. The alternative to the enhancement is to assume that hiding had been used and that clicking on a specific taskbar button should cancel it if hiding was active or else resize it to its previous size.

Also need to resolve failure of focus control to shift GUI object from background to foreground.

Came across an nCurses document, "ncurses-6.0/doc/ncurses-intro.doc", which contains a discussion under the heading "Refresh of Overlapping Windows" which might explain the failure of focus issue and lead to its resolution.
