<para

</question>
<answer>
<para
>With many &X-Window; &GUI;s, the minimise button (a little dot) will erase the window that the program is running in and create, instead, an icon on the desktop. &kde; does not do this. Instead, when a window is iconified it is simply hidden (but the program is still running).</para>
