    Description

      Steps to reproduce, with the attached example (slightly modified MDI example) :
      problems encountered are marked with two stars in front (**)

      > 1. Click on the "New" tool button. This creates a persistent window
      > [document1.txt]; even after you click the [X] button in the subwindow frame,
      > the window still exists, as you can see in the Window menu. If you select its
      > entry in the Window menu the window will reappear.
      >
      > 2. Maximize the document1.txt subwindow.
      >
      > 3. Click document1.txt subwindow's [X] button to close it (without restoring
      > it to Normal size).
      >
      > 4. Click the "New" tool button again to create a persistent document2.txt
      > window.
      >
      > 5. Maximize the document2.txt subwindow.
      >
      > 6. Click the "New Transient" tool button (the New button with the "T" in it).
      > This creates the document3.txt subwindow, which appears already maximized.
      >
      > 7. Click the document3.txt subwindow's [X] button to close it.
      >
      > ** The document2.txt subwindow is now shown. However, it is now shown in
      > Normal state rather than maximized.
      >
      > 8. ** If you click anywhere in the document2.txt subwindow, including on the
      > subwindow frame, the document2.txt window will now maximize itself.
      >
      > 9. Click on the [X] button of the document2.txt window and it will hide itself.
      >
      > ** But, you will now see the frame of document1.txt, however the internal
      > QTextEdit is not visible. The QTextEdit will not appear until you select
      > "document1.txt" from the Window menu.
      >
      > So, there seem to be three problems here: After the maximized transient window
      > is closed, the previously maximized persistent window is shown in Normal mode.
      > But it won't accept input until it maximizes itself on the next click inside
      > of it. Closing the maximized persistent subwindow causes the frame of the
      > previous persistent subwindow frame to appear, but the subwindow frame is
      > empty.
