That works in the sense that my transient windows are correctly 
minimized and restored along with the main window.

Unfortunately, the update has introduced a problem that may be more 
serious. I need to look at it closer in order to find out what exactly 
is going on, but it may seem like if I show, then hide (without 
destroying) a transient window, then minimize and restore the main one, 
the transient is redisplayed. It won't have any contents, though, except 
from being filled with the background colour, i.e. it looks like the 
widgets inside it are still hidden.

Similar weird stuff may also be going on with the menus. All pulldowns, 
that is, not just tear-offs.

I'll try to test some more and give you further details later.
