Yes, current Onboard hides and shows the keyboard window wherever
possible, instead of minimizing/restoring it. IIRC it's been like this
since we switched to GTK-3 in 2012 and more out of necessity than by
design. Gnome-3/GTK-3 were trying to get rid of minimizing back then and
the required APIs weren't there or have been unreliable. Also the
default minimize/restore animations in compiz added delays and didn't
seem like a good fit for Onboard's auto-show overall.

Currently there's one loophole left for real minimizing: 
- Onboard has to think it runs under metacity, so run it from command line as
  onboard -q metacity
- uncheck Preferences->Window->Force to top
- uncheck Preferences->General->Show status icon
- uncheck Preferences->General->Show floating icon

That should get you minimizing in Compiz too, but YMMV. With auto-show
enabled there's a chance the window disappears for good at some point,
i.e. deiconify() does nothing.

Marking 'won't fix' for now as I don't believe we'll be able to change
this behavior.

  undecorated onboard doesn't comply with compiz effects

Status in Onboard on-screen keyboard:
  Won't Fix
Status in onboard package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I am on Ubuntu 14.04.2 platform. When I untick "show window decorator" in onboard settings, onboard doesn't obey compiz window 
  animation effects while minimizing, maximizing, moving ect. Is it by design or a regression in recent releases?
