Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported quake-mode behavior on a multi-monitor Windows setup, with the taskbar on a different monitor from the terminal. Trace the minimize-to-tray and restore entry points to identify where the originating monitor is lost; done means restoring to the monitor where the terminal was minimized.
