            Bug ID: 330083
           Summary: Dialogs launched from applications should not allow
                    minimize.
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: RedHat RPMs
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: critical
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: mageewk at leidos.com

We are running RHEL 6.4 using KDE 4.3.4 and have noticed dialogs launched from
applications can now be minimized using either a new Minimize button from the
Window decorations or a Minimize option from the Window Menu.  When the dialog
is minimized there is no way to access it (does not appear on the system task
bar) which results in user interaction with applications being blocked.  This
is a major issue, as users have reverted to killing applications in order to
restart them.

The applications we maintain are X/Motif and I've tried to remove the Minimize
Window decoration but it appears the Minimize button is tied to the Window
Title Bar and/or Border and can not be removed independently.

How does one get rid of the Minimize button and Minimize option from dialogs
launched from applications on KDE.   This is not a problem on other desktops
such as GNOME.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Start application
2.  Access menu option to popup dialog
3.  Press dialog Minimize Button
Actual Results:  
Dialog no longer available and application interface blocked.

Expected Results:  
Do not allow Dialogs which popup from applications to be minimized.
