I came up among another visual issue.  Minimizing the Qt Creator window 
sometimes triggers the "close window" window manager animation rather 
than the "minimize window" one.  Which means that minimizing behaves 
like closing the window.  Does Qt Creator somehow catch the window 
minimize event and acts upon it?  If yes, maybe something's wrong in 
that code.  Or it could be a KDE bug, but Qt Creator is the only thing 
that does this.
