Hi Jim:

I think pause should be honored completely independent of any windows
manipulations that are being done.  I am unfamiliar with the concept
of Windows minimized windows, but on Linux desktops you can resize the
window, iconify it, etc., and for the case when a plot is paused and
such manipulations occur, then I would expect the pause to still be in
effect when the window is restored. So the above alternative seems the
correct choice to me.
