Thanks, that's absolutely the right way to respond. So much so that
we don't normally feel the need to mention it :-).

I think this is a bug in Qt. I imagine it's trying to hide the window
by setting a window manager hint, rather than unmapping it. It's not
a hideous problem. When we have uploaded a version to Debian (which
will enable Debian's Qt maintainer to reproduce the problem) I will
file a bug.
I don't think changing the size is a goood workaround. It is probably
best not to change meshlab at all.
