 Once they are in this state they cannot be actually minimized (hidden)
 again.

 Steps to reproduce:

 1. Open a window, such a home in Tracker.
 2. Open the Workspaces applet.
 3. While hold CTRL and SHIFT, click the window in Workspaces. This will
 hide it. Don't move the mouse!
 4. While keeping the mouse in the same location, hold CTRL and click
 again. This will bring the window to the front, essentially un-minimizing
 it.

 You now have a window that cannot be minimized again. Not by double
 clicking the title, not by using the deskbar, nor by CTRL-SHIFT-clicking
 again in Workspaces.

 I think the issue is the minimized flag is not unset when the window is
 brought to the front.

 And obviously it is a bug in the WorkspacesView in the app_server to bring
 minimized windows to the front like that. But the app_server should not
 let windows get in this state.
