Incorrect rendering of minimized windows in GNOME 49 #799

Description

A minor rendering issue occurs where minimized windows are incorrectly displayed upon exiting the Overview mode. These erroneously rendered windows can be moved and resized (e.g., with Mod + LeftButton/MiddleButton drag) but cannot receive focus.

This is likely caused by an extension using a deprecated or incompatible API to check a window's visibility state, which is no longer supported in GNOME 49.

I will attempt to implement a fix for this compatibility issue. Once a solution is confirmed, I will fork the repository and submit a Pull Request.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Minimize any application window.
  2. Ensure the extension's "Applications" functionality is enabled.
  3. Press the Super (Windows) key to enter the Overview mode.
  4. Press the Super key again to exit the Overview.

Actual Result:
The minimized window is rendered incorrectly on the desktop. It is non-interactive (cannot be focused) but can be moved and resized.

Expected Result:
The minimized window should remain hidden in the background and not be rendered on the desktop.
