Bug Description
When you minimize a window to the launcher, it remains with the focus, meaning that, for example, the global menu is the menu of the now minimized window.
The focus should automatically go to the window immediately underneath it or, if no other window is open, to the desktop.
When you minimize a window and then go to the global menu, it should be the menu of the window being displayed on top now, but instead is the menu of the app you just minimized. Clicking on the now-visible windows (or desktop) is not possible. Therefore, when you have two maximized windows, one in front of another, you can't serially minimize them by repeatedly pressing the minimize button. The second click will fail, because the focus is in an already minimized window.
Clicking on the application icon of the launcher *does* restore the application. Also, using the window switcher or alt+tab shortcut also restores the application.
Steps to reproduce:
1.- Open 2 different applications (never mind if they're maximized or not)
2.- Minimize the active one
3.- Try to interact, for example, with 2nd window or the desktop -> not possible (also note, the global menu still keeps the name and options of the application.)
