Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

Minor change. It seems that it is no longer reproducible all the time. The last 5 times I've started Seamonkey up, it's worked fine. I'll do a little more poking and see if I can figure out a fully reproducible case.

Does the minimize button only stop working (in browser window) after
you've loaded a Java applet in it?  And do the minimize buttons in
other browser windows (in the same session) continue to work normally?
If so this could be a dup of bug 369894.

(Doing about:plugins in a window will also stop the minimize button
from working in it -- since (due to a Mozilla.org bug) this tries and
fails to load a Java applet.)

(Bug 369894 only effects Carbon-based Mozilla.org browsers that bundle
version 0.9.6 of the Java Embedding Plugin.  You can see which version
you're using in about:plugins.)

Ok, this does appear to be the Java applet bug #369894. Thanks.
