+ * at the same time, some being minimized while being restored at the same time, triggering the
+ * 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.
+ * Design choice: those floating windows are made to be displayed/hidden using menu or shortcuts,
+ * then the OS-specific way to minimize/restore them is superfluous and less efficient.
+ * The mainframe is not a floating window and is not created using this function so the user
+ * minimizes the application by minimizing the mainframe.
