Smithay#1482 renamed `set_minimized()` to `set_suspended()`, but didn't rename `is_minimized()`. But the name may not be ideal either. https://specifications.freedesktop.org/wm-spec/latest/ar01s05.html says > _NET_WM_STATE_HIDDEN should be set by the Window Manager to indicate > that a window would not be visible on the screen if its > desktop/viewport were active and its coordinates were within the > screen bounds. The canonical example is that minimized windows should > be in the _NET_WM_STATE_HIDDEN state.

While https://wayland.app/protocols/xdg-shell#xdg_toplevel:enum:state:entry:suspended says: > The surface is currently not ordinarily being repainted; for example > because its content is occluded by another window, or its outputs are > switched off due to screen locking. So `_NET_WM_STATE_HIDDEN` shouldn't be set merely because a window is occluded, or on a different workspace? Both definitions could perhaps be a bit more precise. It seems to me `_NET_WM_STATE_HIDDEN` is broader than "minimized", but more specific than the xdg-shell "suspended" state. So just call it "hidden" instead of using some other name.
