Which order did you compose boringAuto and minimize? I just tried it, and the only order that works is:
layoutHook = boringAuto $ minimize Simplest -- though I really used onWorkspace too, this is the same thing.
This makes sense, since boringAuto needs to be able to see which windows are removed by minimize.
That's the order in which I have it as well. I just realized, why it didn't work. I also have a decoration in the mix, which - if I recall the code correctly - removes windows that are exactly stacked on top of each other. If I do it without the decoration it works!
I'm not sure that it is necessary to code anything as a workaround. You could use the feature in BoringWindows which accepts messages to mark specific windows as boring.
That's what I was thinking, write a patch that will make X.L.Minimize send out messages to mark all minimized windows as boring. That should be a more reliable way than using boringAuto. Regards, Jan
