Status in OpenObject GTK Client: New

Bug description:
In 5.0.14, the GTK client is allowed to be minimized even when a modal widow is open, such as a search window or an error dialog.
On Windows you can always minimize the client by clicking the entry in the task bar.
On Gnome you can always minimize the client by clicking the entry in the task bar, or clicking the window-manager's buttons on the main window.

At least on Windows XP, we are facing recurring situations where a minimized search window is not visible anymore and can't be de-minimized anymore - effectively making the whole client non-responding.

More generally, allowing modal windows to be minimized is counter-intuitive, so it should be impossible on all platforms.
