GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 314892
Using the gnome-panel's window menu to try and do anything to a minimsed window other than restore it will be ignored

Distribution/Version: RHEL4 Wonder how this one's gone unnoticed for so long. If a window is minimised and the gnome-panel window menu is used for that window to try and maximise or roll-up the window, the attempt is ignored. Only restoring the window has any effect. One would expect the window to go maximised or restore itself in the rolled-up configuration. I note that sawfish handles this just fine, so it's not a gnome-panel problem. Problem was observed on both gnome 2.4 and 2.10 systems (what we had available).
It hasn't gone unnoticed, just unfixed... ;-) But yeah, we need to clean this up. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 122640 ***
