The EMWH spec is completely non-present in how to implement this stuff, so
every panel sends and WM handles panel requests differently.

With openbox this does not work.  When you try to restore the

Somehow, it expects the window to be moved to the current desktop without
requesting that it be moved there.  The bug is the spec not saying anything
about how to do this.. but they could do better in the panel to make it work
in other WMs, or to make it match others.

Can anyone suggest a way to un-minimize windows to the current desktop?


At least with gnome panel and Openbox in git (work branch), either option
focuses the window on its original desktop.
