I think that the first part of your change isn't needed. You could as 
well set the user default GSAppOwnsMiniwindow to NO and would get the 
same result. That way you wouldn't mix app window handling and interface 
style which I see as independent.
And the second part looks just wrong, how will X know that the window is 
going to miniaturized if we don't tell it? This may work when using the 
window decoration, but if you are trying to miniaturize a window from 
code this should just fail.

Sorry for sounding so negative,
