No. In KDE (and oS) anything minised would appear in bottom taskbar, but 
here it is nowhere.

If I recall correctly, in Kubuntu Karmic if some other application was 
opened, but not necessarily visible, in the same desktop, the desktop 
icon would show an additional small window within the desktop icon.

I don't understand.

I have both the top and bottom 'bars' to autohide (have always had 
things this way since time immemorial). Is this what you mean? If so 
then I autohide both.
