How to minimize main GIMP window

Hello, Everyone
My problem is that on the main GIMP interface, I do not see a minimize button. I looked through the "preferences" menu, especially the Window Management part, and I found nothing that would let me re-enable the minimize button. When I right click on the GIMP icon in my taskbar, "minimize" is greyed out. Every other window/dialog that GIMP opens has a minimize button, except the main application interface itself.
This has been bothering me for a while now, but the thing that prompted me to finally ask about it was when I tried to take a screenshot of my entire display and I could not get rid of the main GIMP interface. (Implied in the fact that this was an issue is that the thing I wanted to take a screenshot of was maximized. So, any information about how to re-enable the ability to minimize the GIMP would be greatly appreciated.

P.S.: My OS is Fedora Core 5. I am running Gimp 2.3.9 from CVS. Also, "/etc/sysconfig/desktop" shows the following: DISPLAYMANAGER="KDE"
DESKTOP="KDE"

Set the window type hint for the toolbox to "Normal".
