Let me guess, you have the DIVix (sp) plugging installed. This is

What makes you say the problem is in QT? I'd say the bug is in the
plug-in, if everything works without the plugin :)
Strictly speaking, the problem actually is in the way that Carbon and
Cocoa register for Dock notifications. In this case, you have a Cocoa
app, but a Carbon-based plugin, and the plugin causes the Carbon
registration to happen first. When you click on the minimized window,
Carbon gets notified, but doesn't know what to do, since the
minimized window is actually a Cocoa window. In theory, you could see
the same problem with a Cocoa plugin in a Carbon app.
We're thinking about how to fix this, but don't have a fix yet. I
believe the developers of the DivX plugin are also planning to
address this problem with their next release.
