Re: [Freeglut-developer] Catching minimise with opengl/glut.

[John F. F. <joh...@cy...>]

About the only thing I can think of right off, if you can rebuild the 
source code, is to stick a print statement at the beginning of the 
function (and have it print out only if it's not a redraw event, 
otherwise you get tons of them), having it print out the various 
event data.  You should get a specific event when you minimize the 
window.  Unfortunately I'm not the Linux authority so I can't go much 
further into detail.
