Bug Description

Trying to exit boinc-manager from launcher symbol with right mouse click -> "Exit" shows undefined behavior. Often it minimizes window and maximizes it again. Sometimes it minimizes window without maximizing it after. If the window is already minimized, it exits the program.

The other exit method "File"->"Exit" seems working. Clicking on "X" minimizes the program as intended, maybe there is something messed up with "Exit" in the launcher symbol.

Again, this is by design, the "x" minimizes it (and unity is bad at minimizing it, fortunately unity is dying so I don't care anymore), and exit really quits the program.
