By default, Bugzilla does not search the list of RESOLVED bugs.
You can force it to do so by putting the upper-case word ALL in front of your search query, e.g.: ALL tdelibs
We recommend searching for bugs this way, as you may discover that your bug has already been resolved and fixed in a later release.

Description Darrell 2013-12-25 12:43:26 CST 
Currently no method exists to include in Alt+Tab switching (which includes the Window List menu applet) any apps minimized to the system tray.

Inclusion of minimized apps should be a two-step opt-in and not hard-coded.

The initial enabling option could be something like this:

KControl -> Desktop -> Window Behavior -> Advanced ->  [ ] Include selected minimized system tray apps when traversing windows

That option only enables inclusions. Each app then must be configured by the user to be included. That should be available in both the app's configuration dialogs as well as through the title bar -> Advanced menu options. For example, in KMail the option exists to minimize to the system tray when closed. The new option would be in the same configuration dialog.

A better location for the top level check box:

KControl -> Desktop -> Window Behavior -> Focus -> Navigation group

[ ] Show window list while switching windows
[ ] Include selected minimized system tray apps when switching windows
[ ] Traverse windows on all desktops
