Sorry, I don't know if it is possible to create and object, make it
available and minimize it (remove focus).
I took a look at the shell commands and the only thing available is the
minimizeAll and undoMinimizeAll.
maybe someone knows how to do that, i just can say it's impossible because
there might be a trick to do it.
