This is a bad behavior for the programs to be hidden behind the 
terminal. I had a license which was counting down hidden behind the 
terminal. The behavior is not ideal.

I believe there was talk about making a metacity-sane package for Extras 
where the better IMO action from the past is once again seen. (I am not 
sure if it was serious discussion or not. Some were serious, others were 
not.)
