+ * minimization and the restoration of the others, and so on.
+ * It's difficult to say such bug will never happen on other OS or with some window manager.
+ * While it's possible to decide this can be a design choihce since those floating windows are made
+ * to be displayed/hidden using menu or shortcuts, meaning the OS-specific way to minimize/restore
+ * them is superfluous and less efficient, the floating window mode that fixes issues on Windows
+ * is also known to be broken on KDE (the floating window does not get focus), this is likely to be
+ * a bug in kwin.
+ * In any way the mainframe is not a floating window and is not created using this function so the
+ * user minimizes the whole application including floating windows by minimizing the mainframe
