Per spec, Mir will require that every window have a minimum amount of width+height on-screen. Currently there's no allowance for apps to keep a window *entirely* on-screen, and nor is there any larger minimum width+height when relaunching an app.

But even if there was, that wouldn't solve this problem at all. While a call is in progress, another window might open in front of it; you might minimize it; or you might move it to another workspace, and then switch back to the previous workspace. So there are several ways that the call window could be invisible while the call is in progress.

You could reduce this by setting the call window as a floating regular window, so that it floats on top of most other windows. (But that would be impractical if the app ever allowed screen sharing.) Or you could just rely on the Launcher, switcher, or call banner to return to the app.
