Window disappears and cannot be restored when minimized

[tdionne]

I am using Snakefire 1.0.3 on Ubuntu 12.04 with Unity. When I minimize the Snakefire window, it disappears and cannot be restored. I have to quit it using the tray icon, and then restart it. It will allow me to start a second instance too which seems wrong.

I am trying to use Snakefire instead of Chrome and I love it, but I need to be able to minimize it. :)

Thanks.

Anyone else having a problem, I found a quick hack to make this work (I think).
edit snakefire/mainframe.py as follows:
find the two places where it says self.getSetting("program", "minimize")
under each, comment out self.hide() by prepending it with a #, ie make it #self.hide().

That should be all, now run snakefire and you should be good :)

My propose to fix it is to restore the default behaviors (minimize button will minimize the window, close will hide it) and I've added a "Show" button to systray menu.

In case someone is using the Ubuntu PPA I've already pushed these changes to Precise, Trusty and Utopic.
