            Bug ID: 767052
           Summary: Wayland: Iconifying a modal dialog makes the app
                    unusable
    Classification: Platform
           Product: gtk+
           Version: unspecified
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: Backend: Wayland

     GNOME version: ---

Description:

When using modal dialogs, gtk+ will mskr the parent window insensitite and not
accept any user interaction.

So if the user iconify a modal dialog alone (which is possible in Wayland), the
application becomes unusable.

Moreover, since the dialogs do not show up in either the preview pane nor the
alt-tab list in gnome-shell, there is no way for the user to de-iconify the
dialog, so the applications is basically dead.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Select GNOME on Wayland session
2. set the minimize,maximize,close button layout:

   $ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences button-layout
':minimize,maximize,close'

3. run gtk3-demo

  $ gtk3-demo --run spin-button

4. Iconify the demo dialog window (ie "Spin Buttons") using the iconify button
on the title bar
5. Try to move, close, click the gtk3-demo window or even restore the spin
button window

Actual result:

There is no apparent way to restore the spin button dialog nor to do anything
in the gtk3-demo parent window, not even move it away. The gtk3-demo window
appears to be dead to the user...

Expected result:

either the parent window gets iconified along with the modal, or better, the
modal dialog should not have a iconify button at all.
