Research direction

Start by reproducing the freeze in the grouped-window-list@cinnamon.org applet using the listed Linux Mint steps: minimize an application, hover its icon and mini tab, then press the Super key. Trace the applet path handling this hover and key interaction; done means the menu no longer freezes and the reported behavior is covered by a suitable verification.
