Oh. I guess this "Hidden=True" needs to be counted as one more degree (or
mode) of headlessness;) One that is specific to a document window. What
happens if you haven't started LO with --headless, what effect does
Hidden=True then have?

I guess with "open" you mean "un-minimize" here?

Yeah, sounds odd indeed. The described can hardly be intentional, but must
be seen as a bug.

Thanks. I will experiment eventually.
