Hello Walter, once again thank you for your input. Your approach sounds like a good idea.
But which gtk signals can I use to get informed that the main window is minimized or put to background using alt+tab or by clicking on another application's window or the user changed his desktop by clicking or pressing ctrl+alt+arrow?
