If you can't manage to compose decorations with the minimize and
boringAuto modifier in a way that works correctly, then I guess you do
have to change Minimize. You are likely to still end up with only one
(or maybe a couple) order(s) of composition being acceptable in any
case, since decorations should not be given for windows that get removed
later on.
