Bug Description
Binary package hint: unity
Under Unity, certain applications get "lost" when minimised
Example below uses gpodder, but probably affects other applications as well
1. Launch gpodder
- gpodder window visible
- gpodder icon present in unity dock
- gpodder present in Alt-Tab window switcher
2. Minimise gpodder
- gpodder window minimised (not visible)
- gpodder icon removed from unity dock
- gpodder not present in Alt-Tab switcher
3. Seemingly no way to select the window to unminimise
4. Only way to bring gpodder back is to launch the application a second time
(this brings the original window back to focus)
- gpodder window visible
- gpodder icon present in unity dock
- gpodder present in Alt-Tab window switcher

That probably happens because gPodder uses a tray icon if you minimize it, and the tray should not be used. The same thing happens with skype, and it would be nice to have a workaround, or even better, a solution, because with skype you can't even star a new instance, because it says that another skype instance is running, the only problem is that you can't access that instance.
