It may be another bug, for metacity.

But I was not accurate: My window is not minimized. I left it as is,
only got other windows front and started to do other things.

I am not complaining, that progress windows and not minimized, but that:

- Every each new progress window gets focus again. Very annoying.
  While writing an email, I had to: Click to mail window, type two
  characters, click to mail window, type third character etc.

- If the window is in back, transient windows should be back as well.
  Only enhancement proposal.
