Description

Lapce Version

v0.3.1 and latest (f2355aa0b8839aacc5fa684db2c8b75b5258e251)

System information

KDE Plasma 5.27.11 or GNOME 45.5 on X11 on Gentoo Linux. This doesn't happen on either of the DEs on Wayland.

Describe the bug

Clicking the minimize button don't minimize the lapce window. Minimizing from task context menu will work though.

Additional information

If this originates from rust-windowing/winit#3327, merging upstream winit-0.29.7 (at least) into floem-winit could fix this issue.

Research direction

Start by checking how the project and floem-winit depend on winit, then compare the X11 minimize behavior with rust-windowing/winit#3327 and the suggested winit-0.29.7 change. Verify the result on KDE Plasma or GNOME under X11, including both the window button and task context menu.
