SUMMARY
=======

If the Start menu is open when a program minimizes itself, the Start menu is
also minimized.

MORE INFORMATION
================

This is a desktop focus issue. When a program minimizes itself, it takes the
focus from the desktop, causing the Start menu to be minimized.

The Start menu will therefore also collapse anytime an application takes the
focus; e.g. when an application minimizes, starts up, returns results after
processing in the background, etc.
