Can you trap that in a resumeStack handler located in the proxy? On 
resumeStack, do the same actions that would happen if they'd clicked the 
minimze button in the modeless stack.

What a mess. I'd forgotten about the trick in the bug report #6235. I 
guess I'd try that first, apparently it worked in a few cases. If it 
doesn't, try resumestack.

I'm not sure it helps, but you have my sympathy.
