Description

Hi, when I minimize or switch to another window, winapp disappears from the taskbar but doesn't close. If I reopen the app, it shows back in the taskbar.

The winapp should always appear in the taskbar.

Using:
Linux Mint 21.2 Cinnamon.
freerdp2-x11 is already the newest version (2.6.1+dfsg1-3ubuntu2.3) according to the package manager.

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named. Reproduce the minimize and window-switch behavior on Linux Mint 21.2 Cinnamon with freerdp2-x11 2.6.1+dfsg1-3ubuntu2.3, then locate the relevant winapps shell handling; done means the app remains visible in the taskbar after minimizing or switching windows.
